pyvista - Support Latest VTK Development Wheels

Published by akaszynski over 3 years ago

This release includes 1cdcd85480734e9e8065f62cf10b4a46eef174eb from #1411 to fully support usage of the latest VTK wheels, thus (finally) enabling support of Python 3.9 for pyvista.

Note that to use the pre-release wheels, you must specify the version of the package with:

pip install vtk==9.0.20210612.dev0

Note that this is unnecessary on Python 3.9 as pip will use unstable or development wheels if they are the only ones available.

pyvista - Global Theme and Bug Fixes

Published by akaszynski over 3 years ago

PyVista 0.31.0 Release Notes

This release includes a variety of bug fixes, features, and documentation improvements.

In addition with this release we're adding VTK wheels, including aarch64 build for with and without EGL, EGL wheels, and Python 3.9 (all around 100 MB and built via https://docs.pyvista.org/extras/building_vtk.html)

Wheels for Python 3.9 x86_64 and aarch64 (ARM 64) with and without EGL

Note that vtk-egl wheels are VTK wheels compiled with EGL. They should only be installed on machines where you intend to render only to off_screen. The advantage of these wheels is that they do not require a virtual framebuffer and tend to render better than the vanilla vtk in off_screen mode. These wheels will still be installed as vtk, so if you would like vtk and vtk with EGL installed on the same machine, be prepared to setup a virtual environment.

Please note that the ARM 64 wheels require a 64-bit OS. Download your Raspberry Pi 64-bit image from:
https://downloads.raspberrypi.org/raspios_arm64/images/

pyvista - Jupyterlab Streaming and New Features

Published by akaszynski almost 4 years ago

Jupyterlab Streaming and New Features

This release, pyvista==0.27.0, is a major release that includes an important new feature for jupyterlab: real-time streaming leveraging ipyvtk-simple. Using either software or hardware rendering (as supported by VTK), you can visualize geometry on a remote machine through a jupyterlab environment!

Several other new features were added, along with many bug fixes and optimizations by both new and existing contributors. Thanks all for your contributions! pyvista would not be possible were it not for the community of developers behind all these PRs.

echo "Building with EGL"
$PYBIN=/usr/bin/python3.7
yum install mesa-* -y
git clone https://github.com/Kitware/VTK
cd VTK
git checkout v9.0.1
mkdir build && cd build
/io/cmake/bin/cmake -DVTK_BUILD_TESTING=OFF\
                    -DVTK_WHEEL_BUILD=ON\
                    -DVTK_PYTHON_VERSION=3\
                    -DVTK_WRAP_PYTHON=ON\
                    -DPython3_EXECUTABLE=$PYBIN\

                    -DVTK_USE_X=False\
                    ../
make -j
$PYBIN setup.py bdist_wheel

There's also one vanilla Python 3.9 wheel since that's not currently available on PyPi.

pyvista - VTK 9 Support and PyQt5 Refactor

Published by akaszynski over 4 years ago

Release 0.25.1

It's been three months since the last release and there are quite a few bug fixes and features!

Major API Changes

  • Moved BackgroundPlotter and QtInteractor to pyvistaqt. See #719 for the reasoning, but as a summary, this boils down to licensing, unit testing, and improved development. See pyvistaqt to test out the new module. Wheels will be released for that as soon as we've released wheels for pyvista==0.25.0 as it's a dependency.
  • Added better support for VTKv9. There were several changes under the hood to VTK's UnstructuredGrids that need to be implemented here, as well as many changes to our unit testing and CI to support Python 3.8 and VTKv9. See #732, #772, and #693.
  • When using PyVista with Sphinx-Gallery, we require you to set pyvista.BUILDING_GALLERY = True in your conf.py

Features

  • Removing cells or faces (#653)
  • Progress bar using tqdm (#608)
  • Plotting floors (#424)
  • Additional geometry features (#449)
  • Subplot groups (#696)
  • Custom orientation widget (#702)

Bug Fixes

  • Checking vectors when setting vectors #763
  • Check overwriting dataset to avoid segfault #738
  • Fix faulthandler (#694 and #645)
  • Implicit point setters (#769)
  • Ellipsoid wrapping (#705)

CI Improvements

  • Unit testing is between 25-40% faster. MacOS testing no supports multiple testing processes using pytest-xdist. See #739 and #744
  • Improved code coverage #745 and #709
  • Removed all example downloading from unit testing. Greatly improves test stability (#731)
  • Various speedups (#661)

Refactoring

  • Removed untested pyansys quality method.
  • Using underscore numpy types (#762)
  • Optimized imports (#743)
  • Line break consistent (#737)
  • Use new style super() calls (#741)
  • Generic load/save (#736)
  • Refactored active scalars/vectors (#746)
  • Better error types (#759)
  • And many many more...

High Impact

  • Resolved Windows crashes and disappearing plotters (see #502)
  • Fully dropped support for Python 2.7 (see #493)
  • Depth peeling to properly render translucent geometries (see #450)
  • Full support for reading/writing files with meshio (see #472 and #495)
  • Log scale color mapping (see #499)
  • Keyword arguments are now strongly enforced across the API (see #432)
  • the IPython tools module has been entirely removed (see #403)

New Features & Improvements

  • More camera viewing options: e.g. Plotter.view_zx
  • Gradient background colors when plotting (see #411)
  • Gaussian smoothing filter for pyvista.UniformGrid meshes (see #420 and #485 )
  • Save graphic method for SVG images (see #331)
  • More culling options (see #292)
  • Array name auto-completion in IPython when getting array (see #425)
  • More keypress events in the plotters (see #434)
  • New click position tracking in world coordinates (see #466)
  • Enabled use of custom bounds with texture_map_to_plane (see #407)
  • Document how to instantiate pyvista.MultiBlock objects (see #413)

  • Various widgets enhancements (see #415) and bug fixes
  • Added support for passing a PolyData mesh as the box for the clip_box filter (see #433)
  • PyQt improvements (see #424 and see #498)
    • Q-key will not automatically bind to embedded Qt apps (see #508)
    • Renderers will automatically update when embedded in Qt apps now (see #509)
  • Colormaps can be defined as a list of string colors (see #445)
  • Add helper method to see if PolyData mesh is made of all triangles (see #446)
  • Clamping range added to glyph filter (see #451)
  • Major naming consistency improvements for *_scalars and *_array (see #456)
  • Use the camera transform matrix when getting/setting the camera position in scaled environments (see #476)
  • More indexing options for MultiBlock objects (see #459)
  • Enable pyvista.read to handle lists of file names and return MultiBlock object
  • FileNotFoundError used over IOError (see #506)
