Examples

Download Python source code | Download Jupyter notebook

>>> import os
>>> from tempfile import mkdtemp
>>> import pyvista as pv
>>> from pyvista import examples
>>> filename = examples.download_dual_sphere_animation(load=False)
>>> reader = pv.PVDReader(filename)

Write the gif to a temporary directory. Normally you would write to a local path.

>>> gif_filename = os.path.join(mkdtemp(), 'dual_sphere.gif')

Generate the animation.

>>> pl = pv.Plotter()
>>> pl.open_gif(gif_filename)
>>> for time_value in reader.time_values:
...     reader.set_active_time_value(time_value)
...     mesh = reader.read()
...     _ = pl.add_mesh(mesh, smooth_shading=True)
...     _ = pl.add_text(f'Time: {time_value:.0f}', color='black')
...     pl.write_frame()
...     pl.clear()
...     pl.enable_lightkit()
>>> pl.close()
