## Used Rerun types

## Logging and visualizing with Rerun
|
|
This example demonstrates how to use the Rerun SDK with `multiprocessing` to log data from multiple processes to the same Rerun viewer.
|
|
It starts with the definition of the function for logging, the `task`, followed by typical usage of Python's `multiprocessing` library.
|
|
|
|
The function `task` is decorated with `@rr.shutdown_at_exit`. This decorator ensures that data is flushed when the task completes, even if the normal `atexit`-handlers are not called at the termination of a multiprocessing process.
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
@rr.shutdown_at_exit
|
|
def task(child_index: int) -> None:
|
|
rr.init("rerun_example_multiprocessing")
|
|
|
|
rr.connect_grpc()
|
|
|
|
title = f"task_{child_index}"
|
|
rr.log(
|
|
"log",
|
|
rr.TextLog(
|
|
f"Logging from pid={os.getpid()}, thread={threading.get_ident()} using the Rerun recording id {rr.get_recording_id()}"
|
|
),
|
|
)
|
|
if child_index == 0:
|
|
rr.log(title, rr.Boxes2D(array=[5, 5, 80, 80], array_format=rr.Box2DFormat.XYWH, labels=title))
|
|
else:
|
|
rr.log(
|
|
title,
|
|
rr.Boxes2D(
|
|
array=[10 + child_index * 10, 20 + child_index * 5, 30, 40],
|
|
array_format=rr.Box2DFormat.XYWH,
|
|
labels=title,
|
|
),
|
|
)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The main function initializes Rerun with a specific application ID and manages the multiprocessing processes for logging data to the Rerun viewer.
|
|
|
|
> Caution: Ensure that the `recording id` specified in the main function matches the one used in the logging functions
|
|
```python
|
|
def main() -> None:
|
|
# … existing code …
|
|
|
|
rr.init("rerun_example_multiprocessing")
|
|
rr.spawn(connect=False) # this is the Viewer that each child process will connect to
|
|
|
|
task(0)
|
|
|
|
for i in [1, 2, 3]:
|
|
p = multiprocessing.Process(target=task, args=(i,))
|
|
p.start()
|
|
p.join()
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Run the code
|
|
To run this example, make sure you have the Rerun repository checked out and the latest SDK installed:
|
|
```bash
|
|
pip install --upgrade rerun-sdk # install the latest Rerun SDK
|
|
git clone git@github.com:rerun-io/rerun.git # Clone the repository
|
|
cd rerun
|
|
git checkout latest # Check out the commit matching the latest SDK release
|
|
```
|
|
Install the necessary libraries specified in the requirements file:
|
|
```bash
|
|
pip install -e examples/python/multiprocessing
|
|
```
|
|
To experiment with the provided example, simply execute the main Python script:
|
|
```bash
|
|
python -m multiprocessing # run the example
|
|
```
|
|
If you wish to customize it, explore additional features, or save it use the CLI with the `--help` option for guidance:
|
|
```bash
|
|
python -m multiprocessing --help
|
|
```
