Description : OpenGL interactive scientific visualization
Vispy is an OpenGL-based interactive visualization library in
Python. Its goal is to make it easy to create beautiful and fast
dynamic visualizations. For example, scientific plotting of tens of
millions of points, interacting with complex polygonial models, and
(dynamic) volume rendering. All thanks to the graphics card’s
hardware acceleration.
.
Vispy will eventually offer graphical APIs at multiple levels,
including a matplotlib-like scientific plotting library. Currently,
only the lowest-level API is implemented: it brings an easy-to-use
Pythonic object-oriented interface to OpenGL. This layer requires you
to have basic knowledge of modern OpenGL (notably the OpenGL shading
language, GLSL).
.
We are currently working on higher level layers. They will hide most
OpenGL concepts and let you create beautiful visualizations in a few
lines of code. Stay tuned!
This package will be maintained under the debian-science team umbrella
