Show Image

Use camera.show_object to ensure the Image is in view.

import pygfx as gfx


canvas = WgpuCanvas()
renderer = gfx.renderers.WgpuRenderer(canvas)
scene = gfx.Scene()

im = iio.imread("imageio:astronaut.png")

image = gfx.Image(
    gfx.Geometry(grid=gfx.Texture(im, dim=2)),
    gfx.ImageBasicMaterial(clim=(0, 255)),
)
scene.add(image)

camera = gfx.OrthographicCamera(512, 512)
camera.show_object(scene, view_dir=(0, 0, -1))
camera.local.scale_y = -1


def animate():
    renderer.render(scene, camera)
    canvas.request_draw()


if __name__ == "__main__":
    canvas.request_draw(animate)
    run()
