Attributes Documentation

disabled_message

Returns why a layer is disabled

enabled = None

layer

The Data or Subset visualized in this layer

visible = None

zorder = None

Methods Documentation

clear()

Clear the visulaization for this layer

disable(reason)

Disable the layer for a particular reason.

Layers should only be disabled when drawing is impossible, e.g. because a subset cannot be applied to a dataset.

Parameters:

reason : str

A short explanation for why the layer can’t be drawn. Used by the UI

disable_invalid_attributes(*attributes)

Disable a layer because visualization depends on knowing a set of ComponentIDs that cannot be derived from a dataset or subset

Automatically generates a disabled message.

Parameters:attributes : sequence of ComponentIDs

force_update(*args, **kwargs)

Sets the _changed flag to true, and calls update.

Force an update of the layer, overriding any caching that might be going on for speed

redraw()

Re-render the plot

update(view=None)

Sync the visual appearance of the layer, and redraw

Subclasses may skip the update if the _changed attribute is set to False.

Parameters:

view : (ComponentID, numpy_style view) or None

A hint about what sub-view into the data is relevant.
