import vixar as vx

viewer = vx.Viewer(width=1200, height=800, theme="dark")
viewer.add_point_cloud("survey.csv", color_by="elevation", cmap="terrain")
viewer.add_boreholes(
    "drillholes.csv",
    id_col="HOLE_ID", x_col="X", y_col="Y", z_col="Z", from_col="FROM",
    color_by="au_ppm", cmap="hot",
)
viewer.show()            # inline Jupyter widget
viewer.serve(port=8050)  # local web server (iframe-embeddable)
viewer.to_html("scene.html")  # standalone HTML

pip install vixar — no Node.js required for end users. The WebGL2 engine ships as a bundled viewer.js static asset.

Development

The JS engine lives in the monorepo at the repo root. Build the bundle before running the Python package from source:

pnpm install
pnpm build:viewer          # -> python/src/vixar/static/viewer.js
cd python && pip install -e ".[dev]"
pytest

This is a Phase 1 build (CSV point clouds + boreholes, colour legend, UTM origin, Jupyter/serve/HTML output). See ../plan_v2.md for the full roadmap.
