Verified core-interaction captures#

Render mode#

The Render mode select reading Points, ringed and with the pointer pressing it, above Shader quality, Point size and the Depth cues sliders (3D lighting, Atmospheric fog, Perspective size scaling).

Render mode sits under Cells in Visualization and has exactly two options, Points and Volumetric smoke cloud (beta). Almost everything below it — Shader quality, Point size and the Depth cues sliders shown here — belongs to the points renderer and is hidden in smoke mode; Antialiasing in Performance is the exception and stays in both modes. Choosing smoke also shows a Beta pill beside the Render mode label, which is why no pill is visible here. Scenario core-render-mode-select.#

The whole window in Volumetric smoke cloud mode: the Pancreas cells drawn as a soft cloud tinted with the colours of their clusters, and the sidebar showing Render mode set to Volumetric smoke cloud (beta) with its Beta tag above the Smoke quality, Smoke shape, Smoke lighting and Performance controls, Animation speed at Still.

Volumetric smoke cloud, coloured by clusters. The cloud carries each cluster’s legend colour, the Beta pill is showing, and every smoke control is at its initial value except Animation speed, held at 0 (Still) so the frame stops changing and the capture is reproducible. Scenario core-window-smoke-cloud.#

Switching embeddings#

Each view shows one embedding, chosen with the Shows picker in Compare views; the navigation mode follows the embedding’s dimension unless you set it yourself.

The whole window showing the Pancreas 3D embedding on the Studio backdrop, with the Navigation Mode select reading Orbit and, under Compare views, the Shows picker reading UMAP · 3D.

3D, the Pancreas default. Scenario core-window-dimension-3d.#

The same window after choosing UMAP · 2D in the Shows picker, with the pointer on it: the cells now lie on a plane seen face-on over a dotted backdrop, and the Navigation Mode select has followed the view to Planar.

2D. The coordinates changed and the navigation mode followed them to Planar. Scenario core-window-dimension-2d.#

The same window after choosing UMAP · 1D in the Shows picker: the cells are spread along one axis, and the Navigation Mode select has followed the view to Planar.

1D, also driven with Planar. Scenario core-window-dimension-1d.#

The 2D controls#

The Navigation block reading Planar above the Compare views block whose Shows picker reads UMAP · 2D: choosing a 2D embedding for a view switched its navigation to Planar.

Both controls for a 2D embedding: Navigation on Planar and Shows on UMAP · 2D. Unless you have picked a mode for the view yourself, showing a 2D embedding is what puts Planar there — see Switching embeddings (1D / 2D / 3D). The canvas for the same configuration is the 2D capture above.#

Comparing views#

The whole window in Grid compare with the sidebar open: two equal panels to the right of the sidebar show the Pancreas 3D embedding from the same linked camera — view 1 coloured by cell_type, view 2 recoloured by S_score on a Viridis scale — each under a title chip naming its embedding and field. The sidebar shows Compare views with the two view rows, each marked linked and Orbit, View 2 shows UMAP · 3D, Keep view, Link cameras, Layout Grid compare and Clear, and Coloring & filtering with S_score in the Continuous obs select.

Two views compare one dataset side by side; each row under Views names the embedding the view shows and its field. The panels split the area to the right of the sidebar equally, and each keeps its own coloring: view 1 by cell_type, the selected view 2 by S_score.#

Connectivity edges#

The whole window with Show connectivity edges on: the neighbour graph drawn as thin lines between the Pancreas cells, and the sidebar showing the Connectivity block with Edge color, Edge opacity, Line width and Max edges.

When a connectivity graph is present, the Connectivity block of Visualization exposes edge color, opacity, line width, and the maximum rendered edge count, with the counts of edges in total, visible and shown.#

Two equal panels filling the whole window with the sidebar closed (the ☰ button at the top left), both showing the Pancreas 3D embedding coloured by cell_type from the same linked camera, each under a title chip, and in both the neighbour-graph edges, drawn at line width 2.0, form a grey web between the cells.

Connectivity settings apply to every panel: the edges were switched on, and widened to 2.0, while the kept view was the selected view, and the live panel draws them too. With the sidebar closed the two panels split the whole window.#

Camera paths#

The Camera path accordion starts collapsed. Opening it does not start camera motion.

The Camera path panel with no saved positions: Keyframes with Save position and Clear all, and the Playback settings below.

With fewer than two saved positions, the top playback bar is absent and camera motion remains inactive.#

The Camera path panel after two positions were saved: keyframes KF 1 and KF 2 with the KF 1 → KF 2 duration on auto, End with a return to the first keyframe, Set all with Apply, and Playback with Default speed, Position interpolation Catmull-Rom spline, Rotation interpolation SLERP (smooth), Easing Linear, Loop playback and Autoplay.

Two valid keyframes expose timing and interpolation settings in the sidebar. Loop playback and Autoplay follow the saved path settings.#

The whole window after two camera positions were saved: the playback bar across the top of the canvas with its Play button and timeline markers, and the Camera path panel in the sidebar.

The top transport appears only after two valid keyframes exist. Playback waits for Play unless the user explicitly enables Autoplay.#
