Installation and Use

The Universal Renderer for Neuroscience (Urchin) allows you to connect your Python scripts to a standalone rendering program, to create neuroscience-specific interactive 3D visualizations.

Install

pip install oursin

No additional installation is required if you plan to run Urchin in a browser. A standalone desktop application is also available from the releases page. Linux standalone available on request.

Instructions

import oursin as urchin
urchin.setup()

Calling setup() opens a web browser and links it to your Python client.

Set the parameter standalone = True to connect to a standalone Desktop application. You’ll need to manually copy the ID that Urchin displays to the Desktop renderer.
