Description:

pyvista 0.44.1

3D plotting and mesh analysis through a streamlined interface for the Visualization Toolkit (VTK)


PyVista is:

Pythonic VTK: a high-level API to the Visualization Toolkit (VTK)
mesh data structures and filtering methods for spatial datasets
3D plotting made simple and built for large/complex data geometries


PyVista is a helper module for the Visualization Toolkit (VTK) that wraps the VTK library
through NumPy and direct array access through a variety of methods and classes.
This package provides a Pythonic, well-documented interface exposing
VTK’s powerful visualization backend to facilitate rapid prototyping, analysis,
and visual integration of spatially referenced datasets.
This module can be used for scientific plotting for presentations and research
papers as well as a supporting module for other mesh 3D rendering dependent
Python modules; see Connections for a list of projects that leverage
PyVista.

Highlights
Head over to the Quick Examples page in the docs to explore our gallery of
examples showcasing what PyVista can do. Want to test-drive PyVista?
All of the examples from the gallery are live on MyBinder for you to test
drive without installing anything locally:

Overview of Features

Extensive gallery of examples (see Quick Examples)
Interactive plotting in Jupyter Notebooks with server-side and client-side
rendering with trame.
Filtering/plotting tools built for interactivity (see Widgets)
Direct access to mesh analysis and transformation routines (see Filters)
Intuitive plotting routines with matplotlib similar syntax (see Plotting)
Import meshes from many common formats (use pyvista.read()). Support for all formats handled by meshio is built-in.
Export meshes as VTK, STL, OBJ, or PLY (mesh.save()) file types or any formats supported by meshio (pyvista.save_meshio())
