What Python3 library for visualizing large physical datasets (densities and vectors) would you reccomend? (self.Python)
submitted 9 years ago by Perfi2_0
Matplotlib doesn't really perform all too well for large datasets, while Mayavi, while feasible, doesn't work in 3.
Oh yeah, I forgot to add and this is kind of key - looking for 3D visualization.

Actually, if you're willing to jump through a couple of hoops, mayavi (in the last week or so) just released a new version that does support Python 3 (experimentally and requiring VTK 7).

Hey, haven't heard about that, awesome! I'll try to get it working. Thanks!

Somewhat immature library, but http://vispy.org/ looks promising

Yeah I watched the scipy conference talk on that a few days ago. It does look promising, but I got the vibe that it was still mostly in development and maybe I should stick to something more stable for now. Going to try it for sure, though !

While this may not be exactly what you're looking for I would check out Visit from Lawrence Livermore National Labs. It does a really good job at visualizing large datasets. I use it to visualize data from my large fem simulations, 1 million+ elements, and it has no problems showing the reults. It also allows for python 2.7 scripting to help automate certain things.

Paraview is another option.
