![]() ![]() This allows pyvista to merge into any existing Python VTK code as pyvista objects are instances of VTK objects. We provide an easy to use interface to VTK's Python bindings making accessing VTK data objects simple and fast. first, pyvista is truly an interface to the Visualization Toolkit. You're definitely right that there is a lot of overlap in features between Mayavi and pyvista! I do however think pyvista is approaching 3D viz in a totally different way the Mayavi. It looks like the overlap between vtki and mayavi+tvtk seems the most substantial Thanks, I wasn't aware that Mayavi could provide subplots as it sounds like we do a similar thing - I've updated the table to reflect this. But if there is another method that VTK supports natively that Mayavi does not, then the X probably makes sense (maybe with an asterisk, or with renaming to "native subplotting" or something). So if you also accomplish subplotting by having multiple VTK scenes, then having an X in the Mayavi column there is probably not correct. FWIW in PySurfer were have "subplotting" grids using Mayavi the way they suggest in the docs, namely by setting up a proper traitsui window with multiple Mayavi scenes in it.This might be out of scope for these docs, but for folks like me who have endured Mayavi for years, you might be able to nudge them into adopting vtki with some arguments beyond the feature list, since it's pretty close to parity. I'm particularly curious if there are maintainability/goal/scope/whatever differences between the libraries. it looks like the overlap between vtki and mayavi+tvtk seems the most substantial (pythonic interface easy NumPy support/integration).Just to add from the perspective from a long-time mayavi+tvtk user (e.g., PySurfer) who is excited about the potential of this project (!): Interactivity/embeddable in Jupyter notebooks While this table outlines the various features available across these tools, it doesn't capture the ease-of-use of those features across the different software packages or other factors such as ease of installation or the Pythonic-ness of the API (how intuitive the API is to a new user) Here's an example of what I'm imaging for this: Let's use this issue as a place to keep track of all the different tools out there start outlining what sections might be included in the comparison table. ![]() We recommend using one of the above applications instead.I think it might be useful to get a comparison table going in the docs to compare pyvista to other 3D viz tools out there (Python-based or not). UCSF Chimera is an extensible program for interactive visualization and analysis of molecular structures and related data, including density maps, supramolecular assemblies, sequence alignments, docking results, trajectories, and conformational ensembles. It can be downloaded here.Ĭoot is for macromolecular model building, model completion and validation, particularly suitable for protein modelling using X-ray data. It supports Linux, Windows, and Mac OS X. VMD is a molecular visualization program for displaying, animating, and analyzing large biomolecular systems using 3-D graphics and built-in scripting. Vis5D is a system for interactive visualization of large 5-D gridded data sets such as those produced by numerical weather models. SCIRun is a Problem Solving Environment for modeling, simulation and visualization of scientific problems. functionality is similar, but VisIT tends to be useful for larger data. VisIT, like ParaView, uses VTK as its base. VTK consists of a C++ class library, and several interpreted interface layers to Tcl/Tk, Java, and Python. It supports a wide variety of visualization algorithms. The Visualization Toolkit (VTK) is an open source software system for 3D computer graphics, image processing, and visualization. It is easy to use and runs on Linux, Windows, and Mac OS X, so you can create your visualization on your Windows machine in your office and easily transfer your files to our Linux system. ![]() Paraview is a general purpose visualization application. Please contact the IVC for more information about creating a stereoscopic video. Users can bring in an image sequence, quicktime movie, avi, etc and we will be able to convert it into a flat or stereoscopic sequence, as applicable. RV allows the creation and playback of regular and stereoscopic movies. ![]()
