Example

Typically mplview is used within the context of the Jupyter Notebook. Though it can also be used with any interactive GUI backend that matplotlib provides. Below is a brief example of how this works in the Jupyter Notebook with some dummy data. Similar usage can be applied to other contexts.

# Run the following in your Notebook
#
# %matplotlib notebook

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from mplview.core import MatplotlibViewer

arr = np.random.random((25, 30, 35))

mplsv = plt.figure(FigureClass=MatplotlibViewer)
mplsv.set_images(
    arr,
    vmin=0.0,
    vmax=1.0
)

The array provided to set the images must provide a reasonable subset of the NumPy array interface (primarily slicing and coercion to NumPy Arrays). This allows other array types to be used for visualization easily (e.g. Dask Arrays).
