nilearn.plotting.displays.LZRProjector#

class nilearn.plotting.displays.LZRProjector(cut_coords, axes=None, black_bg=False, brain_color=(0.5, 0.5, 0.5), **kwargs)[source]#

The LZRProjector class enables hemispheric sagittal visualization on the same figure through 2D projections with plot_glass_brain.

This visualization mode can be activated by setting display_mode='lzr':

from nilearn.datasets import load_mni152_template
from nilearn.plotting import plot_glass_brain

img = load_mni152_template()
# display is an instance of the LZRProjector class
display = plot_glass_brain(img, display_mode="lzr")

nilearn.plotting.displays.LYRProjector: ?? views

Attributes:

axesdict of GlassBrainAxes: The axes used for plotting in each direction (‘l’, ‘z’ and ‘r’ here).
frame_axesAxes: The axes framing the whole set of views.

__init__(cut_coords, axes=None, black_bg=False, brain_color=(0.5, 0.5, 0.5), **kwargs)[source]#

add_contours(img, threshold=1e-06, filled=False, **kwargs)[source]#

Contour a 3D map in all the views.

Parameters:

imgNiimg-like object

See Input and output: neuroimaging data representation. Provides image to plot.

thresholdint or float or None, default=1e-6

Threshold to apply:

If None is given, the maps are not thresholded.

If a number is given, it is used to threshold the maps, values below the threshold (in absolute value) are plotted as transparent.

filledbool, default=False

If filled=True, contours are displayed with color fillings.

kwargsdict

Extra keyword arguments are passed to function contour, or function contourf. Useful, arguments are typical “levels”, which is a list of values to use for plotting a contour or contour fillings (if filled=True), and “colors”, which is one color or a list of colors for these contours.

Notes

If colors are not specified, default coloring choices (from matplotlib) for contours and contour_fillings can be different.

add_edges(img, color='r')[source]#

Plot the edges of a 3D map in all the views.

Parameters:

imgNiimg-like object: See Input and output: neuroimaging data representation. The 3D map to be plotted. If it is a masked array, only the non-masked part will be plotted.
colormatplotlib color: str or (r, g, b) value, default=’r’: The color used to display the edge map.

add_graph(adjacency_matrix, node_coords, node_color='auto', node_size=50, edge_cmap=<matplotlib.colors.LinearSegmentedColormap object>, edge_vmin=None, edge_vmax=None, edge_threshold=None, edge_kwargs=None, node_kwargs=None, colorbar=False)[source]#

Plot undirected graph on each of the axes.

Parameters:

adjacency_matrixnumpy.ndarray of shape (n, n)

Represents the edges strengths of the graph. The matrix can be symmetric which will result in an undirected graph, or not symmetric which will result in a directed graph.

node_coordsnumpy.ndarray of shape (n, 3)

3D coordinates of the graph nodes in world space.

node_colorcolor or sequence of colors, default=’auto’

Color(s) of the nodes.

node_sizescalar or array_like, default=50

edge_cmapColormap, default=cm.bwr

Colormap used for representing the strength of the edges.

edge_vmin, edge_vmaxfloat, optional

If not None, either or both of these values will be used to as the minimum and maximum values to color edges.
If None are supplied, the maximum absolute value within the given threshold will be used as minimum (multiplied by -1) and maximum coloring levels.

edge_thresholdstr or int or float, optional

If it is a number only the edges with a value greater than edge_threshold will be shown.
If it is a string it must finish with a percent sign, e.g. “25.3%”, and only the edges with a abs(value) above the given percentile will be shown.

edge_kwargsdict, optional

Will be passed as kwargs for each edge Line2D.

node_kwargsdict

Will be passed as kwargs to the function scatter which plots all the nodes at one.

add_markers(marker_coords, marker_color='r', marker_size=30, **kwargs)[source]#

Add markers to the plot.

Parameters:

marker_coordsndarray of shape (n_markers, 3): Coordinates of the markers to plot. For each slice, only markers that are 2 millimeters away from the slice are plotted.
marker_colorpyplot compatible color or list of shape (n_markers,), default=’r’: List of colors for each marker that can be string or matplotlib colors.
marker_sizefloat or list of float of shape (n_markers,), default=30: Size in pixel for each marker.

add_overlay(img, threshold=1e-06, colorbar=False, cbar_tick_format='%.2g', cbar_vmin=None, cbar_vmax=None, **kwargs)[source]#

Plot a 3D map in all the views.

Parameters:

imgNiimg-like object

See Input and output: neuroimaging data representation. If it is a masked array, only the non-masked part will be plotted.

thresholdint or float or None, default=1e-6

Threshold to apply:

If None is given, the maps are not thresholded.

If a number is given, it is used to threshold the maps: values below the threshold (in absolute value) are plotted as transparent.

cbar_tick_format: str, default=”%.2g” (scientific notation)

Controls how to format the tick labels of the colorbar. Ex: use “%i” to display as integers.

colorbarbool, default=False

If True, display a colorbar on the right of the plots.

kwargsdict

Extra keyword arguments are passed to function imshow.

cbar_vminfloat, optional

Minimal value for the colorbar. If None, the minimal value is computed based on the data.

cbar_vmaxfloat, optional

Maximal value for the colorbar. If None, the maximal value is computed based on the data.

annotate(left_right=True, positions=True, scalebar=False, size=12, scale_size=5.0, scale_units='cm', scale_loc=4, decimals=0, **kwargs)[source]#

Add annotations to the plot.

Parameters:

left_rightbool, default=True

If True, annotations indicating which side is left and which side is right are drawn.

positionsbool, default=True

If True, annotations indicating the positions of the cuts are drawn.

scalebarbool, default=False

If True, cuts are annotated with a reference scale bar. For finer control of the scale bar, please check out the draw_scale_bar method on the axes in “axes” attribute of this object.

sizeint, default=12

scale_sizeint or float, default=5.0

The length of the scalebar, in units of scale_units.

scale_units{‘cm’, ‘mm’}, default=’cm’

The units for the scalebar.

scale_locint, default=4

1: “upper right”

2: “upper left”

3: “lower left”

4: “lower right”

5: “right”

6: “center left”

7: “center right”

8: “lower center”

9: “upper center”

10: “center”

decimalsint, default=0

Number of decimal places on slice position annotation. If zero, the slice position is integer without decimal point.

kwargsdict

Extra keyword arguments are passed to matplotlib’s text function.

property black_bg#: Return black background.

property brain_color#: Return brain color.

close()[source]#

Close the figure.

This is necessary to avoid leaking memory.

draw_cross(cut_coords=None, **kwargs)[source]#

Do nothing.

It does not make sense to draw crosses for the position of the cuts since we are taking the max along one axis.

classmethod find_cut_coords(img=None, threshold=None, cut_coords=None)[source]#: Find the coordinates of the cut.

classmethod init_with_figure(img, threshold=None, cut_coords=None, figure=None, axes=None, black_bg=False, leave_space=False, colorbar=False, brain_color=(0.5, 0.5, 0.5), **kwargs)[source]#

Initialize the slicer with an image.

Parameters:

imgNiimg-like object: See Input and output: neuroimaging data representation.
cut_coords3 tuple of int: The cut position, in world space.
axesmatplotlib.axes.Axes, optional: The axes that will be subdivided in 3.
black_bgbool, default=False: If True, the background of the figure will be put to black. If you wish to save figures with a black background, you will need to pass facecolor='k', edgecolor='k' to matplotlib.pyplot.savefig.
brain_colortuple, default=(0.5, 0.5, 0.5): The brain color to use as the background color (e.g., for transparent colorbars).

savefig(filename, dpi=None)[source]#

Save the figure to a file.

Parameters:

filenamestr: The file name to save to. Its extension determines the file type, typically ‘.png’, ‘.svg’ or ‘.pdf’.
dpiNone or scalar, default=None: The resolution in dots per inch.

title(text, x=0.01, y=0.99, size=15, color=None, bgcolor=None, alpha=1, **kwargs)[source]#

Write a title to the view.

Parameters:

yfloat, default=0.99: The vertical position of the title on the frame in fraction of the frame height.

colormatplotlib color specifier, optional: The color of the font of the title.
bgcolormatplotlib color specifier, optional: The color of the background of the title.
