Welcome to agave_pyclient’s documentation!

Quick start

pip install agave_pyclient

You must have Agave installed separately. On command line, run:

agave --server &

And then in your Python code, import and use the AgaveRenderer class.

from agave_pyclient import AgaveRenderer

# 1. connect to the AGAVE server
r = agave_pyclient.AgaveRenderer()
# 2. tell it what data to load
r.load_data("my_favorite.ome.tiff", 0, 0, 0, [], [])
# 3. set some render settings (abbreviated list here)
r.set_resolution(681, 612)
r.background_color(0, 0, 0)
r.render_iterations(128)
r.set_primary_ray_step_size(4)
r.set_secondary_ray_step_size(4)
r.set_voxel_scale(0.270833, 0.270833, 0.53)
r.exposure(0.75)
r.density(28.7678)
# 4. give the output a name
r.session("output.png")
# 5. wait for render and then save output
r.redraw()
