Introduction
A brief overview of brainrender's code structure
This documentation is for the new brainrender 2.0!
If you 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.If you want to get started rendering your data as soon as possible, install brainrender and then check out this getting started example notebook!
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
brainrenderActor. This can be done using custom code, or with the dedicatedActorclasses provided bybrainrenderwhich 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.
brainrender can be used with Jupyter notebooks, but some care must be used when doing that. Find more details here.Last modified 2yr ago
