ILNumerics.Community.Avalonia 7.0.0.280

ILNumerics.Community.Avalonia

Integration package for ILNumerics (http://ilnumerics.net/) scene graphs and plot cubes with Avalonia (https://avaloniaui.net/platforms) cross-platform UI framework. ILNumerics.Community.Avalonia provides an ILNumerics panel implementation for Avalonia and a set of helper / convenience functions to make embedding ILNumerics scenes into Avalonia apps straightforward. This package makes it easy to host ILNumerics scene graphs and 2D/3D plot cubes inside Avalonia applications. The panel acts as a bridge between Avalonia's UI system and ILNumerics rendering, allowing you to build interactive visualizations that run cross-platform.

Note: This package currently uses a software renderer on all platforms. It generally provides a smooth rendering experience for moderate data sizes, but performance may vary per platform and scene complexity.

Compatibility

• .NET: targets .NET 9.
• ILNumerics: ILNumerics 7.3+
• Avalonia: compatible with Avalonia 11.

Note: Desktop platforms (Windows, Linux, macOS) are working well. There are currently some outstanding issues on mobile platforms; please refer to the issue tracker for details and status updates.

Usage

Add the ILNumerics panel to your user interface (in XAML or in code). The example below shows a simple XAML usage; adjust XML namespaces as appropriate for your project:

<avalonia:Panel Background="White" x:Name="ilPanel" />

Assign a scene to the panel to render it. A minimal example in C#:

// Create a Scene containing a PlotCube and a Surface. Replace 'B' with your data array.
ilPanel.Scene = new Scene
{
    new PlotCube(twoDMode: false)
    {
        new Surface(tosingle(B), colormap: Colormaps.Jet) { new Colorbar() }
    }
};

// Call Configure so ILNumerics computes bounds and internal state required for rendering.
ilPanel.Scene.Configure();

Notes:

• Call Configure() on the scene after setup.
• Assign a new Scene or modify an existing one to update what is rendered.

Examples and demos
