This version includes a modified qt.py file for testing with 3D Slicer.
Works on Windows and Linux. Currently does not work on Mac, possibly due to Qt version issue.
Steps for testing:
- clone this repository and cd into it
- run /path/to/PythonSlicer download-wgpu-native.py
- run /path/to/PythonSlicer -m pip install .
Then paste this in the Python console to try out some demos:
import glob
demos = qt.QWidget()
layout = qt.QVBoxLayout()
demos.setLayout(layout)
for example in glob.glob("./examples/shadertoy*.py"):
button = qt.QPushButton(example)
layout.addWidget(button)
button.connect("clicked()", lambda e=example: exec(open(e).read()))
demos.show()
Note that these demos are running in the Slicer process as QWidgets in Slicer's event loop, that you can you can click on and interact with them and still use Slicer as normal.
Of course, seeing ShaderToy demos is not the end goal. The wgpu interface with PythonQt support in Slicer opens the door to use all kinds of cross-platform GPU-based techniques in Slicer, such as the demos in SlicerWGPU and eventually pygfx together with VTK.
See https://github.com/pygfx/wgpu-py for the original readme.
