Hi
I want to write an application which includes multidimensional visualization. I tried running simple3d.py but it is slowwwwww! Also, I'm not sure if the Navigation Toolbar is working properly.
I looked into VTK and it certainly has good performance and good navigation but .... another steep learning and probably overkill for interacting with simple 3d plots.
Anyone have any thoughts on this?

We are working on making Mayavi2
(https://svn.enthought.com/enthought/wiki/MayaVi) suitable for what you
want to do. You can have a look at http://gael-varoquaux.info/blog/?p=3
for a demo of the capabilities and the interface. This is only part of
Mayavi2, as Mayavi2 also provides a fully-fledged visualisation
application.
Mayavi2 is based upon VTK but strives to make it interactive and to
provide a simple API. It is still in flux and documentation is sparse (I
am planning to address this problem this week end). Moreover some people
find installation painful. We are working on that and in the mean time we
are very willing to help people if they have difficulties with the
instructions on the webpage. If you want more info or help of any kind,
the relevant mailing list is

I was just experimenting with Mayavi2 when your mail arrived! Thanks. I'll look at it over the weekend
