pymovements.gaze.Screen

class pymovements.gaze.Screen(width_px: int | None = None, height_px: int | None = None, width_cm: float | None = None, height_cm: float | None = None, distance_cm: float | None = None, origin: str | None = 'upper left')

Screen class for holding screen properties.

Also transforms pixel coordinates to degrees of visual angle.

Parameters:

• width_px (int | None) – Screen width in pixels. (default: None)

• height_px (int | None) – Screen height in pixels. (default: None)

• width_cm (float | None) – Screen width in centimeters. (default: None)

• height_cm (float | None) – Screen height in centimeters. (default: None)

• distance_cm (float | None) – Eye-to-screen distance in centimeters. If None, a distance_column must be provided in the DatasetDefinition or GazeDataFrame, which contains the eye-to-screen distance for each sample in millimeters. (default: None)

• origin (str | None) – Specifies the screen location of the origin of the pixel coordinate system. (default: ‘upper left’)

Examples

>>> screen = Screen(
...     width_px=1280,
...     height_px=1024,
...     width_cm=38.0,
...     height_cm=30.0,
...     distance_cm=68.0,
...     origin='upper left',
... )
>>> print(screen)
Screen(width_px=1280, height_px=1024, width_cm=38.00,
height_cm=30.00, distance_cm=68.00, origin=upper left)

We can also access the screen boundaries in degrees of visual angle. This only works if the distance_cm attribute is specified.

>>> screen.x_min_dva
-15.59...
>>> screen.x_max_dva
15.59...
>>> screen.y_min_dva
-12.42...
>>> screen.y_max_dva
12.42...
