| Description: | Mayavi scientific data 3D visualizer (3.3.2-1) | |
The Mayavi project includes two related packages for 3-dimensional
visualization:
* Mayavi2: A tool for easy and interactive visualization of data.
* TVTK: A Traits-based wrapper for the Visualization Toolkit, a popular
open-source visualization library.
These libraries operate at different levels of abstraction. TVTK
manipulates visualization objects, while Mayavi2 lets you operate on your
data, and then see the results. Most users either use the Mayavi user
interface or program to its scripting interface; you probably don't need to
interact with TVTK unless you want to create a new Mayavi module.
Mayavi2 seeks to provide easy and interactive visualization of 3-D data.
It offers:
* An (optional) rich user interface with dialogs to interact with all
data and objects in the visualization.
* A simple and clean scripting interface in Python, including one-
liners, or an object-oriented programming interface.
* The power of the VTK toolkit, harnessed through these interfaces,
without forcing you to learn it.
Additionally Mayavi2 is a reusable tool that can be embedded in your
applications in different ways or combined with the Envisage application-
building framework to assemble domain-specific tools.
TVTK wraps VTK objects to provide a convenient, Pythonic API, while
supporting Traits attributes and NumPy/SciPy arrays. TVTK is implemented
mostly in pure Python, except for a small extension module.
Developers typically use TVTK to write Mayavi modules, and then use Mayavi
to interact with visualizations or create applications. | ||
