Release.0.16.mp4

✨ Overview & highlights

  • 🟦 Customize views in code: We started exposing some view properties in the blueprint!
    • 📋 Included are:
      • Visible time ranges
      • Time Series legend & y-axis configuration
      • 2D & 3D View background color
      • 2D View bounds
    • 📚 learn more on the new view blueprint doc pages
    • 🚀 …more to come in the future!
  • 🕰️ Deprecated timeless in favor of new static logging
    • Except for the name change, they behave similarly in most use cases. Unlike with timeless, static data…
      • …can't be mixed with non-static data on the same component.
      • …will override previous static data and not keep old data in memory.
    • Check out our migration guide.
  • 🖼️ 2D View's pan & zoom got redone, it's now a free canvas without any scroll bar
  • 🤖 Added an example to use Rerun with ROS2.

As always there's a lot going on under the hood:

  • 🚚 We streamlined our development processes & CI and examples.
  • 🕸️ Our web page is about to switch from React to Svelte, making it a lot snappier!
  • 💿 Instance key removal in 0.15.0 opened the door to major simplifications in our data store, this
    will make it easier for us to improve performance and implement data streaming.
  • 🤗 We're making it easier to work with HuggingFace's Gradio API. Stay tuned! Most things for this already landed in this release and we'll soon build more direct support on top.

0.15.0 - Blueprints from Python

Rerun is an easy-to-use visualization toolbox for multimodal and temporal data.
Try it live at https://rerun.io/viewer.


The biggest news is the ability to create a blueprint via the Python logging API. Check out our associated blog post for more information.

import rerun.blueprint as rrb

blueprint = rrb.Blueprint(
    rrb.Vertical(
        rrb.Spatial3DView(name="3D", origin="/"),
        rrb.Horizontal(
            rrb.TextDocumentView(name="README", origin="/description"),
            rrb.Spatial2DView(name="Camera", origin="/camera/image"),
            rrb.TimeSeriesView(origin="/plot"),
        ),
        row_shares=[3, 2],
    )
    rrb.BlueprintPanel(expanded=True),
    rrb.SelectionPanel(expanded=False),
    rrb.TimePanel(expanded=False),
)

The blueprint can then be sent to the viewer with

rr.send_blueprint(blueprint)

Or stored to a file, and then later opened in the viewer:

blueprint.save("my_nice_dashboard.rbl")

In this case, the results looks something like this:

Blueprints are currently only supported in the Python API, with C++ and Rust support coming later.

Rerun is an easy-to-use visualization toolbox for multimodal and temporal data.
Try it live at https://app.rerun.io/.

This release focuses on scalar time series -- both from a performance and UI perspectives. Check out our associated blog post for more information.

Overview & Highlights

  • 📈 Rerun can now visualize many time series in the kHz range in real-time:

    • The new query cache optimizes data access, improving query performance by 20-50x
    • Sub-pixel aggregation prevents unnecessary overdraw when rendering plots, improving rendering time by 30-120x
    • Points, lines, arrows and boxes all benefit from query caching too to a lesser extent, yielding 2-5x performance improvements
  • 🖼 UI overrides:

    • The new Scalar, SeriesLine & SeriesPoint archetypes allow for customizing plots both at logging and visualization time
    • Customize marker shapes, marker sizes, etc from code or directly through the UI
    • Specify axis labels, lock axes, etc from code or directly through the UI
  • 🌁 Viewer:

    • The number of compute threads can now be controlled using the --threads/-j flag
    • Added support YUY2-encoded images (thanks @oxkitsune!)
    • Space views can now be drag-and-dropped directly from the blueprint tree
    • Scenes with 100+ entities are now up to 5x faster.
  • 🚚 New Space View and Container creation workflow:

    • When selected, containers have a children list in the Selection Panel, where new Space Views and Containers may be added.
    • New modal dialog to add Space Views and Containers.
    • The same dialog is also available from the + button of the Blueprint tree UI.
    • The Space View's origin can now be edited in the Selection Panel.
    • The container hierarchy can now be cleaned up with the new Simplify Hierarchy button in the Selection Panel for containers.
  • 🦀 The rust SDK now exposes an optional integration with the mint crate

  • 🕸️ The web UI SDK now supports loading multiple .rrd URLs

  • 🔺 The web viewer now renders using WebGPU by default (when available), leading to lower memory usage on Chrome.
    You can override this behavior using ?renderer=webgl/?renderer=webgpu url parameter, or restart with WebGL/WebGPU respectively from the options menu.

As well as a lot of miscellaneous bug fixes and usability improvements: see details below.

Check out our migration guide.
