Tonight I sat down and played a bit with VTK’s Delaunay tessalation filter. I wanted to inspect the local structure of a graph created by Delaunay tessalation of random points. To see better the structure, I selected a slab of the resulting unstructured grid. I think the image is …
Prabhu and I can’t decide: what is best for the documentation, have more pages, and thus have them be small, or have longer pages, but have less. Two specific examples:

Ondrej Certik has installed a sage notebook on a server opened to the net, with Mayavi installed on it. The result is that you have a command line interface on the web, in which you can enter Mayavi commands, and see the result. You have to be very careful to …
I have been wanting to change slightly the design of a Mayavi dialog for a while. Here is the issue: when you create a visualization, eg throught the command line in IPython, whith mlab, you get a nice and small window with only your visualization, and a toolbar. If you …
It’s been two weeks since I posted a ‘Mayavi image of the week’. Prabhu has made a really cool example of integrating trajectories in a 3D vector field, using, of course, the Lorenz equation for the 3D field. With nice colors, it makes a new fantastic image:
The green …
The title of this post is a lure: there won’t be a Mayavi image each week, because I would run out quickly. But it sounded cool.
Anyway, here is an image of a graph, visualized with Mayavi. The graph is actually a protein structure, downloaded from the PDB. The …
Mayavi 3.1.0 has just been released, and I think it is a fantastic version. We are starting to be able to focus on the details and the focus. In addition, we are getting user feedback, which helps identify the pain points.
Automatic scripting
This is a huge deal …
The mayavi manual in SVN has now 120 pages when compiled to pdf. I know that this is a stupid metric, and that the quality is more important then the number of pages, but it does give me a warm and fuzzy feeling.
More seriously, next release of Mayavi (coming …
As promised, here is the sequel to the tutorial I posted yesterday on using Mayavi with scipy to understand the trajectories of a particle in a potential. (chances are you are reading this before my previous post. I suggest you first jump to my previous post, and then come back …
Many years ago, I was working with a bright undergrad on the trajectories of a atoms in a complex light field created by the intersection of two laser beams. She had developped a code in C, and I was starting to discover Python, so we had binded in t in …
