| Mayavi2 is a general purpose, cross-platform tool for 3-D scientific |
| data visualization. Its features include: |
| * Visualization of scalar, vector and tensor data in 2 and 3 dimensions. |
| * Easy scriptability using Python. |
| * Easy extendibility via custom sources, modules, and data filters. |
| * Reading several file formats: VTK (legacy and XML), PLOT3D, etc. |
| * Saving of visualizations. |
| * Saving rendered visualization in a variety of image formats. |
| * Convenient functionality for rapid scientific plotting via mlab |
| |
| Mayavi2 has been designed with scriptability and extensibility in |
| mind. Mayavi2 provides a mayavi2 application which is usable by |
| itself. However, Mayavi2 may also be used as a plotting engine, in |
| scripts, like with matplotlib or gnuplot, as well as a library for |
| interactive visualizations in any other application. It may also be |
| used as an Envisage plug-in which allows it to be embedded in other |
| Envisage based applications natively. |
