Axes3D.voxels([x, y, z, ]/, filled, facecolors=None, edgecolors=None, **kwargs)[source]#

Plot a set of filled voxels

All voxels are plotted as 1x1x1 cubes on the axis, with filled[0, 0, 0] placed with its lower corner at the origin. Occluded faces are not plotted.

Parameters:
filled3D np.array of bool

A 3D array of values, with truthy values indicating which voxels to fill

x, y, z3D np.array, optional

The coordinates of the corners of the voxels. This should broadcast to a shape one larger in every dimension than the shape of filled. These can be used to plot non-cubic voxels.

If not specified, defaults to increasing integers along each axis, like those returned by indices(). As indicated by the / in the function signature, these arguments can only be passed positionally.

facecolors, edgecolorsarray-like, optional

The color to draw the faces and edges of the voxels. Can only be passed as keyword arguments. These parameters can be:

  • A single color value, to color all voxels the same color. This can be either a string, or a 1D rgb/rgba array

  • None, the default, to use a single color for the faces, and the style default for the edges.

  • A 3D ndarray of color names, with each item the color for the corresponding voxel. The size must match the voxels.

  • A 4D ndarray of rgb/rgba data, with the components along the last axis.

shadebool, default: True

Whether to shade the facecolors.

lightsourceLightSource

The lightsource to use when shade is True.

**kwargs

Additional keyword arguments to pass onto Poly3DCollection.

Returns:
facesdict

A dictionary indexed by coordinate, where faces[i, j, k] is a Poly3DCollection of the faces drawn for the voxel filled[i, j, k]. If no faces were drawn for a given voxel, either because it was not asked to be drawn, or it is fully occluded, then (i, j, k) not in faces.
