Pyvisi Description

Free and open source Python visualization interface Pyvisi is intended to be a generic, Python-language-based generic interface to many packages used in scientific visualisation. The idea is that the user writes one set of code to plot a set of data (say), and then can choose to use one of many "backends" or "renderer modules" to actually perform the task of visualising the data. For example, a user could use vtk to visualize certain kinds of three-dimensional data, but then for very high quality output, other users might wish to use Renderman or PovRay for the same data.With pyvisi, one would have to change one line of code (that specifying the underlying renderer for the visualisation) in order to use the relevant package. The interface then goes off and handles all of the messy internal details about dealing with that particular engine, leaving a consistent interface for the user. It is intended that the software will have a good overall structure, and API, in order that developers can reasonably easily add new backends to the interface, and these can just be imported as modules in the usual way in Python. Requirements: · Python What's New in This Release: · vtk renderer module now plots escript Data objects properly. · Examples have been improved and the naming scheme used improved. · Code has been tidied a lot. · Escript examples have also been added.
