marcomusy/vedo: 2021.0.3

• General improvements to the vedo command line

• colorcet colormaps are directly usable in vedo. Check example basic/mesh_custom.py

• general tool for free-hand cutting a mesh can be invoked from command line: vedo --edit https://vedo.embl.es/examples/data/porsche.ply

• added example search by command line e.g.: vedo --search triangle -i (-i to ignore capital letters)

• added file(s) info dump by command line e.g.: vedo --info some_image.jpg https://vedo.embl.es/examples/data/porsche.ply

• pressing shift-A toggles antialiasing for the whole rendering window

• pressing shift-D toggles depth-peeling algorithm for the current renderer

• antialiasing set by default on vtk9

• balloon-style flags are disabled because of a bug in vtk9

Consider installing VTK 8.1.2 for better visualisations when possible (unfortunately this slightly older version is no more available for python >=3.8)

• corrected bug on diagonalSize() returning a wrong value

• added addSplineTool() to interactively spline points in space
• added labelRotation in addScalarBar3D
• added xShiftAlongY keywords in Axes to slide the whole axis position along another axis
• added xAxisRotation to rotate the whole axis (ticks and labels)
• addScalarBar3D() can now render categorical data

• fixed small issue in printc to support different terminals

• computeNormals() is no more changing the nr of mesh points unless featureAngle is specified
  • added keywords: featureAngle=None, consistency=True
• intersectWithLine() can now return cell ids, not just points

• improved automatic text management in show("some text")
• added computeWorldPosition(point2d) to get the 3d point in the scene from a screen 2d point
• added addSplineTool() to interactively spline points in space
• small fix in plotter.add() for offscreen mode.
• added topicture() to render a scene into a Picture object (to crop, mirror etc)

• added FFT and RFFT, added example fft2d.py
• can save Picture obj to file as jpg or png

• added cutWithBox(), cutWithLine(), cutWithSphere() and cutWithCylinder() methods

• fixed small bug in Glyph

• added class VolumeSlice for volume-sliced visualization.

• added roundToDigit(x,p), round number x to significant digit
