Core API

PyVista wraps the Visualization Toolkit (VTK) mesh data types with a Pythonic API. All PyVista meshes inherit from DataSet and provide direct access to common VTK filters (see Filters).

Data Types

Point Sets

Datasets with explicit point and cell geometry: surface meshes, volumetric meshes, and point clouds.

Point Sets

Gridded Data

Datasets with topologically regular point spacing: uniform grids and rectilinear grids.

Gridded Data

Composite Datasets

Containers that hold multiple datasets in one object.

Composite Datasets

Base Classes

DataObject, DataSet, DataSetAttributes, Table, and Texture.

Data Sets

Filters

All filtering methods available on PyVista datasets.

Filters

Scene Objects

Camera, Light, Cell, and CellArray.
