Tutorial examples to learn Mayavi¶
To get acquainted with mayavi you may start up the Mayavi2 application,
mayavi2
in the command line, like so:
$ mayavi2
On Windows you can double click on the installed mayavi2.exe
executable (usually in the Python2X\Scripts
directory), or use the
start menu entry, if you installed python(x,y) or EPD.
Once Mayavi starts, you may resize the various panes of the user interface to get a comfortable layout. These settings will become the default “perspective” of the mayavi application. More details on the UI are available in the General layout of UI section.
We give a few detailed examples of how you can use the Mayavi application
to tour some of its features. Before proceeding to the examples, it can
be useful to locate some data to experiment with. Two of the examples
below make use of data shipped with the mayavi sources ship. These may
be found in the examples/data
directory inside the root of the mayavi
source tree. If these are not installed, the sources may be downloaded
