This documentation is for the new brainrender 2.0!
If are getting started with brainrender, carry on. But if you have been using previous versions of the software, you might want to check the guide we've put together to transition to the new brainrender.
This section explains the logic behind how
brainrender
works. If you want more details about which classes/methods are part of each script, and what they do, check the automatically generated docs here.
A core design goal is to facilitate the rendering of any data registered to a reference atlas. To this end,
brainrender
facilitates the creation of 3D objects from many different types of data (e.g. cell locations, brain regions) within minimal need for the development of dedicated code. In addition, brainrender
is fully integrated with BrainGlobe's atlasAPI ensuring that you can use brainrender
with any atlas supported by the API with no need for any changes in your code. 
Overview of brainrender's workflow
The general workflow for any
brainrender
visualization consists of just a few steps:- 1.Load your data and generate a
brainrender
Actor
. This can be done using custom code, or with the dedicatedActor
classes provided bybrainrender
which can be used to render most types of data. - 2.
- 3.
To learn more in detail how to use
brainrender
, keep reading this documentation and when you're ready check out the examples at the GitHub repository.
