viser-keyframe

A fork of viser with additional features for building keyframe editors and multi-column GUI layouts.

What's New in viser-keyframe

This fork adds the following features on top of the original viser:

1. Multi-Column GUI Layouts

Create side-by-side control panels with gui.add_columns():

import viser

server = viser.ViserServer()

# Create a 3-column layout
columns = server.gui.add_columns(3)

# Add controls to each column
with columns.column(0):
    server.gui.add_slider("Left Arm", 0, 1, 0.5)
    
with columns.column(1):
    server.gui.add_button("Center")
    
with columns.column(2):
    server.gui.add_slider("Right Arm", 0, 1, 0.5)

You can also specify custom column widths:

columns = server.gui.add_columns(3, widths=[0.3, 0.4, 0.3])

2. Slider Precision Fix

Fixes floating-point display noise in sliders (e.g., 0.30000000001 → 0.3), with improved input validation and dynamic width for high-precision values.

Installation

pip install viser-keyframe

Usage

This package is a drop-in replacement for viser. Just install it and import as usual:

import viser

server = viser.ViserServer()

# All original viser features work
server.scene.add_frame("/world")

# Plus the new multi-column layout
columns = server.gui.add_columns(2)

Original Viser Features

All features from the original viser are included:

• API for visualizing 3D primitives
• GUI building blocks: buttons, checkboxes, text inputs, sliders, etc.
• Scene interaction tools (clicks, selection, transform gizmos)
• Programmatic camera control and rendering
• Web-based client for easy use over SSH
