ANN: glue-vispy-viewers v0.4 released!

[Thomas Robitaille]

Hi everyone,

With the glue v0.8 release out of the door, we are happy to also let you know that the plugin with the experimental 3D viewers for glue – glue-vispy-viewers – also has a new release (v0.4).

Since the last time I advertised these plugins, there have been a number of improvements, including:

• The ability to select data in the 3D viewers
• The ability to save and restore Glue sessions with 3D viewers
• Optimizations of the panels on the left hand side of the application for small screens
• The ability to save static views of the 3D viewers to files
• A toolbar icon to continuously rotate the view
• A toolbar icon to record an animation to a GIF file (this requires the imageio package to be installed)
• A number of bug fixes that affected usability
• The ability to switch between an orthogonal and perspective projection

This plugin can now be installed using Anaconda:

  conda install -c conda-forge glue-vispy-viewers

or if you use pip:

  pip install glue-vispy-viewers --upgrade --no-deps

Please note that the package should still be considered experimental. If you run into any issues or have any requests, we would love to hear from you - you can either send a message to the glue...@googlegroups.com mailing list, or open an issue on GitHub in the following repository:

Thanks!
