.. _add_example_example:
Adding a New Gallery Example
----------------------------
This example demonstrates how to add a new PyVista `Sphinx Gallery
<https://sphinx-gallery.github.io/>`_ example as well as being a template that
can be used in their creation.
Each example should have a reference tag/key in the form:
``.. _<example-name>_example:``
The ``.. _`` is necessary. Everything that follows is your reference tag, which
can potentially be used within a docstring. As convention, we keep all
references all in ``snake_case``.
This section should give a brief overview of what the example is about and/or
demonstrates. The title should be changed to reflect the topic your example
covers.
New examples should be added as python scripts to:
``examples/<index>-<directory-name>/<some-example>.py``
.. note::
Avoid creating new directories unless absolutely necessary.If you *must*
create a new folder, make sure to add a ``README.txt`` containing a
reference, a title and a single sentence description of the folder.
Otherwise the new folder will be ignored by Sphinx.
Example file names should be hyphen separated snake case:
``some-example.py``
After this preamble is complete, the first code block begins. This is where you
typically set up your imports.
.. note::
By default, the documentation scrapper will generate both a static image and
an interactive widget for each plot. If you want to turn this feature off
define at the top of your file:
``# sphinx_gallery_start_ignore``
``PYVISTA_GALLERY_FORCE_STATIC_IN_DOCUMENT = True``
``# sphinx_gallery_end_ignore``
If you want to use static images only for some of your plots. Define
``PYVISTA_GALLERY_FORCE_STATIC`` before the ``plot``/``show`` command that
produces the image you want to turn into static.
.. code-block::
...
pl.show() # this will be interactive plot
# sphinx_gallery_start_ignore
PYVISTA_GALLERY_FORCE_STATIC = True
# sphinx_gallery_end_ignore
...
pl.show() # this will be static plot

# %%
# Section Title
# ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
# Code blocks can be broken up with text "sections" which are interpreted as
# restructured text.
#
# This will also be translated into a markdown cell in the generated jupyter
# notebook or the HTML page.
#
# Sections can contain any information you may have regarding the example
# such as step-by-step comments or notes regarding motivations etc.
#
# As in Jupyter notebooks, if a statement is unassigned at the end of a code
# block, output will be generated and printed to the screen according to its
# ``__repr__`` method. Otherwise, you can use ``print()`` to output text.
# Create a dataset and exercise it's repr method
dataset = pv.Sphere()
dataset
# %%
# Plots and images
# ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
# If you use anything that outputs an image (for example,
# :func:`pyvista.Plotter.show`) the resulting image will be rendered within the
# output HTML.
#
# .. note::
# Unless ``sphinx_gallery_thumbnail_number = <int>`` is included at the top
# of the example script, first figure (this one) will be used for the
# gallery thumbnail image.
#
# Also note that this image number uses one based indexing.
dataset.plot(text='Example Figure')
# %%
# Caveat - Plotter must be within One Cell
# ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
# It's not possible for a single :class:`pyvista.Plotter` object across
# multiple cells because these are closed out automatically at the end of a
# cell.
#
# Here we just exercise the :class:`pyvista.Actor` ``repr`` for demonstrating
# why you might want to instantiate a plotter without showing it in the same
# cell.
pl = pv.Plotter()
actor = pl.add_mesh(dataset)
actor
# %%
# This Cell Cannot Run the Plotter
# ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
# The plotter will already be closed by ``sphinx_gallery``.
# This cannot be run here because the plotter is already closed and would raise
# an error:
# >>> pl.show()
# You can, however, close out the plotter or access other attributes.
pl.close()
# %%
# Animations
# ~~~~~~~~~~
# You can even create animations, and while there is a full example in
# :ref:`movie_example`, this cell explains how you can create an animation
# within a single cell.
#
# Here, we explode a simple sphere.
pl = pv.Plotter(off_screen=True)
# optimize for size
pl.open_gif('example_movie.gif', palettesize=16)
sphere = pv.Sphere(theta_resolution=10, phi_resolution=10)
# Add initial mesh to setup the camera
actor = pl.add_mesh(sphere)
pl.background_color = 'w'
# clear and overwrite the mesh on each frame
n_frames = 20
for i in range(n_frames):
exploded = sphere.explode(factor=i / (n_frames * 2)).extract_surface()
actor.mapper.dataset.copy_from(exploded)
pl.camera.reset_clipping_range()
pl.write_frame() # Write this frame
# Be sure to close the plotter when finished
pl.close()
# %%
# Adding Example Files
# ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
# PyVista has a variety of example files all stored at `pyvista/vtk_data
# <https://github.com/pyvista/vtk-data>`_, and you can add the file by
# following the directions there.
#
# Under the hood, PyVista uses `pooch <https://github.com/fatiando/pooch>`_,
# and you can easily access any files added with
# :func:`pyvista.examples.downloads.download_file`.
filename = examples.download_file('bunny.ply')
filename
# %%
# Adding a Wrapped Example
# ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
# While it's possible to simply download a file and then read it in, it's
# better for you to write a wrapped ``download_<example-dataset>()`` within
# ``/pyvista/examples/downloads.py``. For example :func:`download_bunny()
# <pyvista.examples.downloads.download_bunny>` downloads and reads with
# :func:`pyvista.read`.
#
# If you intend on adding an example file, you should add a new function in
# ``downloads.py`` to make it easy for users to add example files.
dataset = examples.download_bunny()
dataset
# Making a Pull Request
# ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
# Once your example is complete and you've verified it builds locally, you can
# make a pull request (PR).
#
# Branches containing examples should be prefixed with `docs/` as per the branch
# naming conventions found in out `Contributing Guidelines
# <https://github.com/pyvista/pyvista/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.rst>`_.
#
# .. note::
# You only need to create the Python source example (``*.py``). The jupyter
# notebook and the example HTML will be auto-generated via `sphinx-gallery
# <https://sphinx-gallery.github.io/>`_.
