Abstract
Sullivan et al., (2019). PyVista: 3D plotting and mesh analysis through a streamlined interface for the Visualization Toolkit (VTK). Journal of Open Source Software, 4(37), 1450, https://doi.org/10.21105/joss.01450
Highlights
Few open-source packages are capable of handling large, spatiallyreferenced datasets and some are powerful yet have inherently complex application programming interfaces (APIs), which might create a barrier to entry for new users
Visualization Toolkit (VTK) is a powerful scientific visualization software library, and with Python bindings, it combines the speed of C++ with the rapid prototyping of Python
VTK code programmed in Python using the base VTK Python package is unnecessarily complicated as its API binds existing C++ calls
Summary
Few open-source packages are capable of handling large, spatiallyreferenced datasets and some are powerful yet have inherently complex application programming interfaces (APIs), which might create a barrier to entry for new users. VTK is a powerful scientific visualization software library, and with Python bindings, it combines the speed of C++ with the rapid prototyping of Python. The PyVista Python package provides a concise, well-documented interface exposing VTK’s powerful visualization backend; enabling researchers to rapidly explore large datasets, communicate their spatial findings, and facilitate reproducibility.
