## Used Rerun types

|
## Logging and visualizing with Rerun
|
|
This example showcases logging from multiple threads, starting with the definition of the function for logging, the `rect_logger`, followed by typical usage of Python's `threading` module in the main function.
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
def rect_logger(path: str, color: npt.NDArray[np.float32]) -> None:
|
|
for _ in range(1000):
|
|
rects_xy = np.random.rand(5, 2) * 1024
|
|
rects_wh = np.random.rand(5, 2) * (1024 - rects_xy + 1)
|
|
rects = np.hstack((rects_xy, rects_wh))
|
|
rr.log(
|
|
path, rr.Boxes2D(array=rects, array_format=rr.Box2DFormat.XYWH, colors=color)
|
|
) # Log the rectangles using Rerun
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The main function manages the multiple threads for logging data to the Rerun viewer.
|
|
```python
|
|
def main() -> None:
|
|
# … existing code …
|
|
|
|
threads = []
|
|
|
|
for i in range(10): # Create 10 threads to run the rect_logger function with different paths and colors.
|
|
t = threading.Thread(target=rect_logger, args=(f"thread/{i}", [random.randrange(255) for _ in range(3)]))
|
|
t.start()
|
|
threads.append(t)
|
|
|
|
for t in threads: # Wait for all threads to complete before proceeding.
|
|
t.join()
|
|
|
|
# … existing code …
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## 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/multithreading
|
|
```
|
|
To experiment with the provided example, simply execute the main Python script:
|
|
```bash
|
|
python -m multithreading # 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 multithreading --help
|
|
```
