vis3dvf

Dependencies

• pygame
• PyOpenGL
• PyOpenGL_accelerate

Quickstart

A simple example of a time-dependent vector field can be found in the example.py file. To quickstart this example, run:

pip install vis3dvf                                     # installs vis3dvf (and dependencies)
git clone https://github.com/LukasDrsman/vis3dvf.git    # fetches repo with example.py
cd vis3dvf
python3 example.py                                      # runs example.py

Usage

vis3dvf.plot.Figure(window width, window height)

• Figure constructor, necessary for rendering.
• "Public" methods:
  • add(plot) - adds plot object to the render que (plot object must have an implemented render() method)
  • show() - creates a window and starts rendering

vis3dvf.vectorfield.VectorField(u, v, w, density)

• Static vector field plot object constructor
• Parameters:
  • u = u(x,y,z) - the x component of the vector field at (x,y,z) (function)
  • v = v(x,y,z) - the y component of the vector field at (x,y,z) (function)
  • w = w(x,y,z) - the z component of the vector field at (x,y,z) (function)

vis3dvf.vectorfield.VectorFieldT(u, v, w, density, initial time, final time, time delta)

• Time-dependent vector field plot object constructor
• Parameters:
  • u = u(x,y,z,t) - the x component of the vector field at (x,y,z) and time t (function)
  • v = v(x,y,z,t) - the y component of the vector field at (x,y,z) and time t (function)
  • w = w(x,y,z,t) - the z component of the vector field at (x,y,z) and time t (function)
