[Visualpython-users] R: Python-visual in latest Ubuntu

[marco b. <mar...@un...>]

James and Bruce,
our group is using VP in a variety of applications and we
are involved in writing 3D numerical solutions of heat and fluid
transport in porous media. We started using VP as our visualization systems
of choice for both structured and unstructured grids. 

We would be very interested in VP as Python graphics back-end. We found many
valuable features of VP.

James/Bruce,

If there is a serious attempt made at migrating Visual onto a pure
Python graphics back-end, I'd definitely be interested in joining that
project. The Python API for Visual is brilliant and the graphics are
fast, but the nature of the current implementation imposes several
limitations (notably, GTK+ event loop issues and some disconnects in
display and object interaction) that might be easier to address -- and
failing that, for users to monkey-patch their way around -- if it were
pure Python. This is, of course, in addition to the aforementioned.

On a related note, there seems to be much demand for a good native 3D
geometry library in pure Python [1]. If the above were to happen, it
might make sense to spin off a separate efficient geometry library at
the same time (something in which I'd be even more interested in
participating).
