show_panels

This functions create a montage of many 2D slices through a 3D image. This is useful for very quick checks of the image to ensure the features are present, shapes are correct, etc.

im

This arugment receives the 3D image which is to be sliced:

fig, ax = ps.visualization.show_panels(im)

rc

Indicates the number of rows and columns to use. The default is [3, 3]. The function will take the needed number of slices to fill in the panel complete, evenly spaced along the specified axis.

fig, ax = ps.visualization.show_panels(im, rc=[2, 4])
../../../_images/790ad13d26cdb8c8a93802ba7b6c434ea938d028b9eba66137a19c511515aede.png

axis

Indicates the direction which slices are taken. By default slices are taken from the x-direction (axis=0), meaning the panels are slices of the “yz-plane”.

fig, ax = ps.visualization.show_panels(im, axis=2)
