3D data mapper with labels using python modules
I would like to build a simple 3D data mapper in python 3.
This data mapper is suppoed to visualize in 3D different kind of data (as text) on a grid of QUAD and TRIANGLE cells. Just like a simple FE model.
I have no experience with 3D graphics. After several days of internet research I am still not sure which python module (Tkinter, vtk, VisPy, PyOpenGL, Pyglet, PyGame, Mayavi, etc...) and which approach would be the easiest and best for this Job.
I considered vtk as an appropriate visualization toolkit, but I have difficulties to find a good begginers documentation.
Functionality:
I have the following functionalities in mind:
1. read in a simple (comma separated) input file with the coordinates of the vertices and the cells and the data to be presented
2. build the grid of vertices and cells
3. map the selected data (from drop down menu) to the cells
4. interactively move and rotate the grid
5. pick one or more cells with the mouse to assign the selected cells to a group
I would appreciate any advice and recommendation!
Thanks and best regards,
Lemon
