🚀 Complete PyVista Tutorial

Master 3D Visualization and Mesh Processing with Python

📘 Introduction to PyVista

PyVista is a powerful 3D visualization and mesh analysis library built on top of the Visualization Toolkit (VTK). It provides a high-level, Pythonic interface for scientific visualization, making complex 3D rendering and mesh processing accessible to Python developers. PyVista dramatically simplifies the VTK API while maintaining full access to its powerful capabilities.

Why PyVista?

Key Features

What Can You Build?

PyVista is used across diverse scientific and engineering fields:

Installation Requirements

PyVista requires Python 3.8 or later and works on Windows, macOS, and Linux. Key dependencies include:

📝 Note: PyVista is designed to make VTK accessible. If you've struggled with VTK's complexity before, PyVista provides the same power with 10x less code!

🎯 Getting Started

Installation

Installing PyVista is straightforward using pip or conda. Choose the method that works best for your environment:

# Using pip (recommended for most users) pip install pyvista # Using conda (for Anaconda/Miniconda users) conda install -c conda-forge pyvista # Install with all optional dependencies pip install pyvista[all] # For Jupyter notebook support only pip install pyvista[jupyter] # For development (includes testing tools) pip install pyvista[dev]

Verifying Installation

After installation, verify that PyVista is working correctly:

import pyvista as pv import numpy as np # Check version print(f"PyVista version: {pv.__version__}") # Test basic functionality sphere = pv.Sphere() print(f"Created sphere with {sphere.n_points} points") # Check GPU support print(f"OpenGL version: {pv.Report().opengl_version}")

Basic Setup and Configuration

Configure PyVista's global settings to customize the appearance and behavior of your visualizations:

import pyvista as pv import numpy as np # Set default plot theme pv.set_plot_theme('document') # Clean white background # Other themes: 'dark', 'paraview', 'night', 'default' # Configure global settings pv.global_theme.font.family = 'arial' pv.global_theme.font.size = 12 pv.global_theme.font.color = 'black' # Window defaults pv.global_theme.window_size = [1024, 768] pv.global_theme.background = 'white' # Enable anti-aliasing for smoother rendering pv.global_theme.multi_samples = 8 # Lighting defaults pv.global_theme.lighting = True pv.global_theme.smooth_shading = True

Your First Visualization

Let's create your first 3D visualization using PyVista. We'll start simple and progressively add features:

# Method 1: Quick plot (simplest) sphere = pv.Sphere(radius=1.0) sphere.plot() # Method 2: With basic customization sphere.plot( color='lightblue', show_edges=True, edge_color='black', lighting=True, smooth_shading=True ) # Method 3: Using Plotter for full control plotter = pv.Plotter() plotter.add_mesh(sphere, color='lightblue', show_edges=True) plotter.add_text('My First PyVista Plot', font_size=14) plotter.show_axes() plotter.camera_position = 'iso' # Isometric view plotter.show()

Understanding PyVista Data Types

PyVista provides several mesh types for different data structures:

1. PolyData - Surface Meshes

Best for surfaces, point clouds, and polygonal data:

# Create surface mesh sphere = pv.Sphere() # Returns PolyData print(f"Type: {type(sphere)}") # pyvista.PolyData # PolyData is ideal for: # - Surface meshes (STL files) # - Point clouds # - Wireframe models # - 2D and 3D polygonal data

2. UnstructuredGrid - Volumetric Meshes

For 3D cells with irregular topology (FEA, CFD):

# Common in finite element analysis # Supports tetrahedra, hexahedra, pyramids, wedges grid = pv.UnstructuredGrid() # Load from FEA software # grid = pv.read('simulation_results.vtk')

3. StructuredGrid - Curvilinear Grids

Regular topology with variable geometry:

# Create wavy surface x = np.arange(-10, 10, 0.5) y = np.arange(-10, 10, 0.5) x, y = np.meshgrid(x, y) z = np.sin(np.sqrt(x**2 + y**2)) grid = pv.StructuredGrid(x, y, z) # Ideal for terrain, deformed grids

4. ImageData - Voxel/Regular Grids

Uniform 3D grids (medical imaging, voxel data):

# Create uniform grid grid = pv.ImageData( dimensions=(50, 50, 50), spacing=(0.1, 0.1, 0.1), origin=(0, 0, 0) ) # Perfect for CT/MRI scans, voxel art

Quick Reference

Common operations you'll use frequently:

# Create primitives sphere = pv.Sphere() cube = pv.Cube() cylinder = pv.Cylinder() # Load from file mesh = pv.read('model.stl') # Get information print(f"Points: {mesh.n_points}") print(f"Cells: {mesh.n_cells}") print(f"Bounds: {mesh.bounds}") # Transform mesh.translate([1, 0, 0]) mesh.rotate_x(45) mesh.scale(2.0) # Visualize mesh.plot()
💡 Pro Tip: Use pv.examples.download_*() methods to access sample datasets for learning. Try pv.examples.download_bunny(), pv.examples.download_dragon(), or pv.examples.download_cow()!

📂 Loading and Visualizing Meshes

Reading Mesh Files

PyVista can automatically detect and read numerous mesh formats. The pv.read() function is your gateway to loading external data:

# Auto-detect format from extension mesh = pv.read('model.stl') mesh = pv.read('data.vtk') mesh = pv.read('scan.ply') mesh = pv.read('model.obj') # Read from URL mesh = pv.read('https://example.com/model.stl') # Download example datasets (great for learning!) bunny = pv.examples.download_bunny() cow = pv.examples.download_cow() dragon = pv.examples.download_dragon() beethoven = pv.examples.download_beethoven() # Read multiple files meshes = pv.read('pattern_*.vtu') # Returns MultiBlock

Creating Geometric Primitives

PyVista provides built-in functions to create common geometric shapes. These are perfect for testing, prototyping, and creating simple scenes:

Sphere

# Basic sphere sphere = pv.Sphere() # Customized sphere sphere = pv.Sphere( radius=2.0, center=(1, 2, 3), theta_resolution=50, # Longitude divisions phi_resolution=50 # Latitude divisions ) # Hemisphere (half sphere) hemisphere = pv.Sphere( start_phi=0, end_phi=90 )

Cube and Box

# Cube (equal sides) cube = pv.Cube( center=(0, 0, 0), x_length=1.0, y_length=1.0, z_length=1.0 ) # Box (custom dimensions) box = pv.Box(bounds=[-1, 1, -2, 2, -0.5, 0.5])

Cylinder and Cone

# Cylinder cylinder = pv.Cylinder( center=(0, 0, 0), direction=(0, 1, 0), radius=1.0, height=3.0, resolution=50, capping=True # Cap the ends ) # Cone cone = pv.Cone( center=(0, 0, 0), direction=(0, 0, 1), height=2.0, radius=1.0, resolution=50 )

Plane and Disk

# Plane plane = pv.Plane( center=(0, 0, 0), direction=(0, 0, 1), i_size=10, j_size=10, i_resolution=10, j_resolution=10 ) # Disk disk = pv.Disk( center=(0, 0, 0), inner=0.0, outer=1.0, r_res=5, c_res=20 )

Parametric Surfaces

Create complex mathematical surfaces:

# Torus (donut shape) torus = pv.ParametricTorus( ringradius=1.0, crosssectionradius=0.3 ) # Ellipsoid ellipsoid = pv.ParametricEllipsoid( xradius=1.0, yradius=2.0, zradius=0.5 ) # Mobius strip mobius = pv.ParametricMobius() # Klein bottle klein = pv.ParametricKlein()

Mesh Properties and Information

Once you have a mesh, you can query its properties to understand its structure and characteristics:

# Basic information print(f"Type: {type(mesh)}") print(f"Number of points: {mesh.n_points}") print(f"Number of cells: {mesh.n_cells}") print(f"Number of arrays: {mesh.n_arrays}") # Geometric properties print(f"Bounds: {mesh.bounds}") # [xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax, zmin, zmax] print(f"Center: {mesh.center}") print(f"Length: {mesh.length}") # For PolyData meshes if isinstance(mesh, pv.PolyData): print(f"Surface area: {mesh.area}") print(f"Volume: {mesh.volume}") # Memory usage print(f"Memory: {mesh.memory_size / 1e6:.2f} MB") # Data arrays print(f"Point arrays: {mesh.point_data.keys()}") print(f"Cell arrays: {mesh.cell_data.keys()}")

Accessing Mesh Data

Mesh data is stored as NumPy arrays, making it easy to manipulate:

# Points (vertices) - NumPy array points = mesh.points print(f"Points shape: {points.shape}") # (n_points, 3) # Get coordinates x_coords = mesh.points[:, 0] y_coords = mesh.points[:, 1] z_coords = mesh.points[:, 2] # Bounds and extents xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax, zmin, zmax = mesh.bounds print(f"X range: [{xmin:.2f}, {xmax:.2f}]") print(f"Y range: [{ymin:.2f}, {ymax:.2f}]") print(f"Z range: [{zmin:.2f}, {zmax:.2f}]")

Visualization Styles

PyVista offers multiple ways to visualize meshes:

# Surface rendering (default) mesh.plot(style='surface') # Wireframe mesh.plot(style='wireframe', line_width=2) # Points mesh.plot(style='points', point_size=10) # With edges mesh.plot(show_edges=True, edge_color='black') # Multiple views comparison p = pv.Plotter(shape=(2, 2)) p.subplot(0, 0) p.add_mesh(mesh, style='surface', color='white') p.add_text('Surface') p.subplot(0, 1) p.add_mesh(mesh, style='wireframe', color='blue') p.add_text('Wireframe') p.subplot(1, 0) p.add_mesh(mesh, style='points', color='red') p.add_text('Points') p.subplot(1, 1) p.add_mesh(mesh, show_edges=True, color='lightblue') p.add_text('With Edges') p.show()
🎯 Example: Complete Mesh Inspection
import pyvista as pv # Download sample mesh mesh = pv.examples.download_bunny() # Comprehensive inspection print("="*50) print("MESH INFORMATION") print("="*50) print(f"Type: {type(mesh).__name__}") print(f"Points: {mesh.n_points:,}") print(f"Cells: {mesh.n_cells:,}") print(f"\nBounds:") print(f" X: [{mesh.bounds[0]:.3f}, {mesh.bounds[1]:.3f}]") print(f" Y: [{mesh.bounds[2]:.3f}, {mesh.bounds[3]:.3f}]") print(f" Z: [{mesh.bounds[4]:.3f}, {mesh.bounds[5]:.3f}]") print(f"\nGeometry:") print(f" Area: {mesh.area:.3f}") print(f" Volume: {mesh.volume:.3f}") print(f" Center: {mesh.center}") # Visualize mesh.plot( color='tan', show_edges=True, edge_color='black', lighting=True )
💡 Quick Camera Views: Use cpos='xy', cpos='xz', cpos='yz' for orthographic views, or cpos='iso' for isometric view in the plot() method.

🔍 Mesh Analysis and Manipulation

Geometric Transformations

Transform meshes in 3D space using translation, rotation, and scaling operations. These operations are fundamental for positioning and orienting meshes.

Translation (Moving)

# Translate (move) mesh translated = mesh.translate([1, 2, 3], inplace=False) # In-place modification mesh.translate([1, 0, 0], inplace=True) # Center mesh at origin centered = mesh.translate(-np.array(mesh.center), inplace=False)

Rotation

Rotate meshes around axes or arbitrary vectors:

# Rotate around X, Y, Z axes rotated_x = mesh.rotate_x(45, inplace=False) # 45 degrees rotated_y = mesh.rotate_y(30, inplace=False) rotated_z = mesh.rotate_z(60, inplace=False) # Rotate around arbitrary vector vector = [1, 1, 1] # Diagonal axis angle = 45 rotated = mesh.rotate_vector( vector, angle, point=mesh.center, inplace=False ) # Chain rotations rotated = mesh.rotate_x(45).rotate_y(30).rotate_z(60)

Scaling

Resize meshes uniformly or along specific axes:

# Uniform scaling scaled = mesh.scale(2.0, inplace=False) # 2x in all directions # Non-uniform scaling scaled = mesh.scale([2, 1, 0.5], inplace=False) # Different per axis # Scale from specific point scaled = mesh.scale(2.0, origin=mesh.center, inplace=False)

Reflection and Flipping

# Flip along axes flipped_x = mesh.flip_x(inplace=False) flipped_y = mesh.flip_y(inplace=False) flipped_z = mesh.flip_z(inplace=False) # Reflect across plane normal = [0, 0, 1] point = [0, 0, 0] reflected = mesh.reflect(normal, point=point, inplace=False)

Boolean Operations

Combine meshes using CSG (Constructive Solid Geometry) operations. These are powerful for creating complex shapes from simple primitives.

# Create overlapping shapes sphere1 = pv.Sphere(radius=1.0, center=(0, 0, 0)) sphere2 = pv.Sphere(radius=0.8, center=(0.5, 0, 0)) # CRITICAL: Clean meshes first! sphere1 = sphere1.clean() sphere2 = sphere2.clean() # Union (combine) union = sphere1.boolean_union(sphere2) # Difference (subtract) difference = sphere1.boolean_difference(sphere2) # Intersection (overlap only) intersection = sphere1.boolean_intersection(sphere2) # Visualize all operations p = pv.Plotter(shape=(2, 2)) p.subplot(0, 0) p.add_mesh(sphere1, color='red', opacity=0.5) p.add_mesh(sphere2, color='blue', opacity=0.5) p.add_text('Original') p.subplot(0, 1) p.add_mesh(union, color='green') p.add_text('Union') p.subplot(1, 0) p.add_mesh(difference, color='yellow') p.add_text('Difference') p.subplot(1, 1) p.add_mesh(intersection, color='purple') p.add_text('Intersection') p.show()
⚠️ Boolean Requirements: Always use mesh.clean() before boolean operations! Non-manifold edges or holes will cause failures. Meshes must be closed and manifold.

Mesh Quality Analysis

Assess and visualize mesh quality using various metrics:

Quality Metrics

# Compute cell quality quality = mesh.compute_cell_quality( quality_measure='scaled_jacobian' ) # Available measures: # 'area', 'aspect_ratio', 'condition', 'diagonal', # 'jacobian', 'max_angle', 'min_angle', 'radius_ratio', # 'scaled_jacobian', 'shape', 'skew', 'stretch', 'volume' # Visualize quality quality.plot( scalars='CellQuality', cmap='RdYlGn', clim=[0, 1], show_scalar_bar=True ) # Find poor quality cells bad_cells = quality.threshold( value=0.3, scalars='CellQuality', invert=True ) print(f"Poor quality cells: {bad_cells.n_cells}")

Normal Computation

Compute surface normals for lighting and analysis:

# Compute normals mesh_with_normals = mesh.compute_normals( cell_normals=True, point_normals=True, split_vertices=False, flip_normals=False, consistent_normals=True, feature_angle=30 ) # Access normals point_normals = mesh_with_normals['Normals'] # Visualize normals with arrows arrows = mesh.glyph( orient='Normals', scale=False, factor=0.1 ) p = pv.Plotter() p.add_mesh(mesh, color='white') p.add_mesh(arrows, color='blue') p.show()

Curvature Analysis

Analyze surface curvature to identify features:

# Mean curvature curv_mean = mesh.compute_curvature(curvature_type='mean') # Gaussian curvature curv_gaussian = mesh.compute_curvature(curvature_type='gaussian') # Maximum/minimum curvature curv_max = mesh.compute_curvature(curvature_type='maximum') curv_min = mesh.compute_curvature(curvature_type='minimum') # Compare all types p = pv.Plotter(shape=(2, 2)) p.subplot(0, 0) p.add_mesh(curv_mean, scalars='mean_curvature', cmap='coolwarm') p.add_text('Mean Curvature') p.subplot(0, 1) p.add_mesh(curv_gaussian, scalars='gaussian_curvature', cmap='coolwarm') p.add_text('Gaussian Curvature') p.subplot(1, 0) p.add_mesh(curv_max, scalars='maximum_curvature', cmap='coolwarm') p.add_text('Maximum') p.subplot(1, 1) p.add_mesh(curv_min, scalars='minimum_curvature', cmap='coolwarm') p.add_text('Minimum') p.show()

Mesh Repair and Cleaning

Fix common mesh problems and prepare meshes for analysis:

Basic Cleaning

# Remove duplicates and merge points cleaned = mesh.clean( point_merging=True, tolerance=1e-6, remove_unused_points=True ) # Fill holes filled = mesh.fill_holes(hole_size=10.0) # Extract surface (remove internal cells) surface = mesh.extract_surface() # Triangulate (convert all cells to triangles) triangulated = mesh.triangulate()

Complete Repair Pipeline

🎯 Example: Mesh Repair
def repair_mesh(mesh): """Complete mesh repair pipeline.""" print("Repairing mesh...") print(f"Initial: {mesh.n_points} points, {mesh.n_cells} cells") # Step 1: Clean mesh = mesh.clean() # Step 2: Extract surface mesh = mesh.extract_surface() # Step 3: Fill holes mesh = mesh.fill_holes(100.0) # Step 4: Triangulate mesh = mesh.triangulate() # Step 5: Keep largest region mesh = mesh.connectivity(largest=True) # Step 6: Compute normals mesh = mesh.compute_normals() print(f"Final: {mesh.n_points} points, {mesh.n_cells} cells") return mesh # Use it repaired = repair_mesh(damaged_mesh)

Connectivity Analysis

Analyze and extract connected regions:

# Extract all connected regions connected = mesh.connectivity('all') # Extract largest region only largest = mesh.connectivity(largest=True) # Count regions n_regions = len(np.unique(connected['RegionId'])) print(f"Connected regions: {n_regions}") # Split into separate meshes split_meshes = connected.split_bodies() print(f"Split into {len(split_meshes)} separate meshes")

Contours and Slicing

# Create contours contours = mesh.contour( isosurfaces=5, scalars='temperature' ) # Slice mesh slice_x = mesh.slice(normal='x') clipped = mesh.clip(normal='z', value=0)

🔢 Point and Cell Data

Adding Data

# Point data mesh['point_temp'] = np.random.rand(mesh.n_points) * 100 # Cell data mesh['cell_quality'] = np.random.rand(mesh.n_cells) # Vector data velocities = np.random.rand(mesh.n_points, 3) mesh['velocity'] = velocities

Data Conversion

Thresholding

# Filter by value high_values = mesh.threshold( value=70.0, scalars='temperature' ) # Range selection mid_range = mesh.threshold( value=[40, 60], scalars='temperature' )

🔗 NumPy & Pandas Integration

NumPy Operations

# Points as NumPy array points = mesh.points print(f"Shape: {points.shape}") # Modify coordinates mesh.points[:, 2] *= 2 # Scale Z # Statistical operations temp = mesh['temperature'] mean_temp = np.mean(temp) std_temp = np.std(temp) # Vector magnitude v = mesh['velocity'] magnitude = np.linalg.norm(v, axis=1) mesh['speed'] = magnitude

Pandas DataFrames

import pandas as pd # Create DataFrame df = pd.DataFrame({ 'x': mesh.points[:, 0], 'y': mesh.points[:, 1], 'z': mesh.points[:, 2], 'temp': mesh['temperature'] }) # Analysis summary = df.describe() correlation = df.corr() # Filter high_temp = df[df['temp'] > 70] # Back to mesh points = df[['x', 'y', 'z']].values cloud = pv.PolyData(points) cloud['temp'] = df['temp'].values

🌍 Real-world Applications

Terrain Modeling

# Create terrain x = np.arange(0, 100, 1) y = np.arange(0, 100, 1) x, y = np.meshgrid(x, y) z = 10 * np.sin(x/10) * np.cos(y/10) + 50 terrain = pv.StructuredGrid(x, y, z) terrain['elevation'] = z.ravel() terrain.plot( scalars='elevation', cmap='gist_earth', lighting=True )

Medical Imaging

# Load scan volume = pv.read('brain_scan.nii') # Extract tissue skull = volume.threshold(value=500) brain = volume.threshold([200, 500]) # Visualize p = pv.Plotter() p.add_mesh(skull, color='white', opacity=0.8) p.add_mesh(brain, color='pink', opacity=0.6) p.show()

🖱️ Interactive Features

Widgets

⚠️ Common Gotchas

In-place Operations: Many methods modify meshes in-place by default!
# Creates copy rotated = mesh.rotate_z(45, inplace=False) # Modifies original mesh.rotate_z(45) # inplace=True by default
Boolean Operations: Always clean meshes first!
# Clean before boolean ops mesh1 = mesh1.clean() mesh2 = mesh2.clean() result = mesh1.boolean_union(mesh2)

⚡ Performance Tips

Optimization Strategies

# Simplify before plotting simplified = large_mesh.decimate(0.9) simplified.plot() # Off-screen rendering p = pv.Plotter(off_screen=True) p.add_mesh(mesh) p.show(screenshot='output.png')

🎬 Creating Animations

Basic Animation

p = pv.Plotter() p.open_gif('animation.gif', fps=30) sphere = pv.Sphere() for angle in np.linspace(0, 360, 100): p.clear() rotated = sphere.rotate_z(angle, inplace=False) p.add_mesh(rotated, color='lightblue') p.write_frame() p.close()

Orbit Animation

p = pv.Plotter() p.add_mesh(mesh) path = p.generate_orbital_path(n_points=100) p.open_gif('orbit.gif') p.orbit_on_path(path, write_frames=True) p.close()

📓 Jupyter Notebooks

Setup

# Set backend pv.set_jupyter_backend('pythreejs') # Interactive # or pv.set_jupyter_backend('static') # Static images # Plot in notebook mesh.plot()
💡 Jupyter Tips:
  • Use static for quick previews
  • Use pythreejs for interaction
  • Use ipyvtklink for large datasets

✅ Best Practices

Code Organization

# Reusable function def visualize_field(mesh, field_name, cmap='viridis'): """Visualize scalar field on mesh.""" p = pv.Plotter() p.add_mesh( mesh, scalars=field_name, cmap=cmap, show_scalar_bar=True ) return p # Use it plotter = visualize_field(my_mesh, 'temperature', 'plasma') plotter.show()

Error Handling

# Always handle file I/O try: mesh = pv.read('model.stl') except FileNotFoundError: print("File not found!") mesh = pv.Sphere() # Validate mesh if mesh.n_points == 0: raise ValueError("Empty mesh!") # Check for NaN if np.isnan(mesh.points).any(): mesh.points = np.nan_to_num(mesh.points)
