Top-down path taken image from vizard coordinates?

[ccjohnston]

Is there a way to convert output vizard coordinates into an image? That is, is there some way to take the coordinates and produce an image of the path from a top-down view? Thank you.

Take a look at the on-the-fly tutorial (http://docs.worldviz.com/vizard/#Tutorial__On-the-fly_objects.htm). That shows how to draw a path of the viewpoint movement in a top-down view.

Thank you. Hmm, is there a way to have an image of the path from already-done runs through the maze? I have files with coordinates over time that I want to see in the form of an image of the path the subject took. Is that possible?

Sorry I'm not being clear--I'm having a hard time articulating my question. I don't want a window showing the path taken from a top-down view as the subject is running through the maze. Instead, I want an image produced after the maze is already run through, where the image shows the path that was taken when the subject was running through the maze. I hope that makes sense.

We have coordinate files already that looks like this:

Coordinates:
[[ 0.00000000e+00 3.99644127e+01 0.00000000e+00 0.00000000e+00]
[ 0.00000000e+00 3.99350586e+01 0.00000000e+00 0.00000000e+00]
[ 0.00000000e+00 3.96772919e+01 0.00000000e+00 1.59997940e-02]
[ 0.00000000e+00 3.97072945e+01 0.00000000e+00 3.09998989e-02]

(...etc.)


So, I was wondering if we could take this coordinate data and produce an image of the path that that subject took.

If you want an image of pre-recorded data you could read in the data from file, draw the path, and then take a screenshot of the window.

If you want to automate the image capture, then use Vizard's built in screen capture (http://docs.worldviz.com/vizard/#Getting_screenshots_and_videos.htm) commands.
