Modules and Filters -------------------- For each Mayavi module or filter, there is a corresponding `mlab.pipeline` factory function that takes as an input argument, the source on which the new module or filter will be added, and returns the created module object. The name of the function corresponds to the name of the module, but with words separated by underscores `_`, rather than alternating capitals. The input object, if it is a data source (Mayavi data source or VTK dataset), does not need to be already present in the figure, it will be automatically added if necessary. Factory functions take keyword arguments controlling some properties of the object added to the pipeline. For instance, the `ScalarCutPlane` module can be added with the following function: .. autofunction:: mayavi.tools.modules.scalar_cut_plane As the list is long, we shall not enumerate here all the factory function for adding modules or filters. You are invited to refer to their docstring for information on the keyword arguments they accept.
