"The ``VTK`` pane renders a VTK scene inside a panel, making it possible to interact with complex geometries in 3D.\n",
"It allows keeping state synchronized between the ``vtkRenderWindow`` defined on the python side and the one displayed in the pane through vtk-js.\n",
"Here Python acts as a server, sending information about the scene to the client.\n",
"The synchronization is done in only one direction: Python => JavaScript. Modifications done on the JavaScript side are not reflected back to the Python ``vtkRenderWindow``.\n",
"\n",
"#### Parameters:\n",
"\n",
"For details on other options for customizing the component see the [layout](../../how_to/layout/index.md) and [styling](../../how_to/styling/index.md) how-to guides.\n",
"\n",
"* **``axes``** (dict): A dictionary with the parameters of the axes to construct in the 3d view.\n",
" Must contain at least ``xticker``, ``yticker`` and ``zticker``.\n",
" - ``[x|y|z]ticker`` is a dictionary which contains:\n",
" - ``ticks`` (array of numbers) - required. Positions in the scene coordinates\n",
" of the corresponding axe ticks\n",
" - ``labels`` (array of strings) - optional. Label displayed respectively to\n",
" the `ticks` positions.\n",
"\n",
" If `labels` are not defined they are inferred from the `ticks` array.\n",
" - ``digits``: number of decimal digits when `ticks` are converted to `labels`.\n",
" - ``fontsize``: size in pts of the ticks labels.\n",
" - ``show_grid``: boolean. If true (default) the axes grid is visible.\n",
" - ``grid_opacity``: float between 0-1. Defines the grid opacity.\n",
" - ``axes_opacity``: float between 0-1. Defines the axes lines opacity.\n",
"* **``camera``** (dict): A dictionary reflecting the current state of the VTK camera\n",
"* **``enable_keybindings``** (bool): A boolean to activate/deactivate keybindings. Bound keys are:\n",
" - s: set representation of all actors to *surface*\n",
" - w: set representation of all actors to *wireframe*\n",
" - v: set representation of all actors to *vertex*\n",
" - r: center the actors and move the camera so that all actors are visible\n",
" \n",
" The mouse must be over the pane to work\n",
"
**Warning**: These keybindings may not work as expected in a notebook context, if they interact with already bound keys\n",
"* **``orientation_widget``** (bool): A boolean to activate/deactivate the orientation widget in the 3D pane.\n",
"* **``ìnteractive_orientation_widget``** (bool): If True the orientation widget is clickable and allows to rotate the scene in one of the orthographic projections.\n",
"
**Warning**: if set to True, synchronization capabilities of `VTKRenderWindowSynchronized` panes could not work.\n",
"* **``object``** (object): Must be a ``vtkRenderWindow`` instance.\n",
"\n",
"#### Properties:\n",
"\n",
"* **``actors``** : return the list of the vtkActors in the scene\n",
"\n",
"* **``vtk_camera``** : return the vtkCamera of the renderer held by the panel\n",
"\n",
"#### Methods:\n",
"\n",
"Several helpers to work with the VTK scene are exposed:\n",
"\n",
"* **``set_background(r: float, g: float, b: float)``** : Set the color of the scene background as an RGB color, where `r`, `g`, and `b` are floats in the range (0, 1)\n",
"\n",
"* **``synchronize()``** : Synchronize the Python-side ``vtkRenderWindow`` object state with JavaScript\n",
"\n",
"* **``unlink_camera()``** : Create a new vtkCamera object, allowing the panel to have its own camera.\n",
"\n",
"* **``link_camera(other: VTK)``** : Set both panels to share the same camera; any change in either panel's camera will be applied to the other\n",
"\n",
"**Warning** after using any of these methods to modify the state of vtkRenderWindow, the `synchronize()` method must be called for those changes to affect the display\n",
