cvista-rendering

cvista is a fast, lean fork of VTK 9.6.2, maintained by the PyVista community as a drop-in graphics layer for PyVista. It is byte-for-byte identical to stock VTK 9.6.2 by default, BSD-3 licensed, and developed in the open at pyvista/cvista. It is not affiliated with Kitware.

cvista is published as three tiers that share the cvista import package:

• cvista core: VTK Common/Filters/Imaging compute kernels (rendering-free, IO-free)
• cvista-rendering: the OpenGL2/FreeType/Charts/Views rendering stack
• cvista-io: every VTK reader and writer

This package: cvista-rendering

Adds VTK's rendering stack (OpenGL2, FreeType, Charts, Views) on top of the cvista core, and requires cvista. The bridge modules that also need data IO (scene import/export, molecule rendering) are optional: install cvista-rendering[io] to enable them, otherwise those names raise an install-io error while the rest of the renderer works.

pip install cvista-rendering
pip install cvista-rendering[io]  # + IO bridge modules
