The mission of visvis is to create a lightweight but powerful visualization toolkit that is easy to install, easy to use, enables making interactive tools, and can be used in (commercial) applications.
- Powerful: thin layer, allowing the user to use OpenGl if necessary, use of GLSL
- Easy installation: few dependencies, pure Python
- Easy to use: object oriented, much use of properties, good documentation, large set of convenience functions
- Interactive: effective event system, support for picking
- Usable in apps: multiple backends, easy embedding, liberal license.
Further, visvis is designed to be run from Python scripts, as well as in interactive sessions using IEP or IPython.
