Package Visualization

Scientific visualization

The modules in this subpackage provide visualization of 3D objects using different backends (VRML, VMD, VPython), but with an almost identical interface. It is thus possible to write generic 3D graphics code in which the backend can be changed by modifying a single line of code.

The intended application of these modules is scientific visualization. Many sophisticated 3D objects are therefore absent, as are complex surface definitions such as textures.

Submodules

Scientific.Visualization.Color: Color definitions for use in the modules VRML, VRML2, VMD, and PyMOL.
Scientific.Visualization.PyMOL: Definitions of simple 3D graphics objects and scenes containing them, in a form that can be fed to the molecular visualization program PyMOL
Scientific.Visualization.VMD: Definitions of simple 3D graphics objects and scenes containing them, in a form that can be fed to the molecular visualization program VMD
Scientific.Visualization.VPython: Definitions of simple 3D graphics objects and scenes containing them, to be rendered using VPython
Scientific.Visualization.VRML: Definitions of simple 3D graphics objects and VRML scenes containing them
Scientific.Visualization.VRML2: Definitions of simple 3D graphics objects and VRML scenes containing them
