I was making great progress on a probably-useless #python #vtk #dataviz and had gotten to the critical step: compute the intersections of these #3d polymeshes to show the interesting part.....

...and it keeps segfaulting.

Internet suggests the polymeshes may be imperfect but cleaning them doesn't help. I'm dejected. I wanna work on it but I don't want to spend most of a weekend debugging a single problem

I love #pyqtgraph for 2D scientific and #dataviz #graphs in #python. And now I'm starting to really love #vtk for 3D.

https://vtk.org/

It has a lot of the same #science adjacent type plotting. It works well with python. (And there's a #javascript #api but I haven't used it...yet). And it is *extremely fast*.

The only problem is that there's a lot to it and I don't really understand the workflow. (I feel like there's an extra layer. There's a "source", a "mapper", an "actor" and a "renderer". One of those seems superfluous.)

There are a lot of examples on their site and elsewhere. And there's a lot of documentation. But I haven't yet found a good combination tutorial that has worked examples that are also explained.

I really just have to use it more and get it into my head.

Fortunately, I have a weird #math/#geometry/#orbitalmechanics thing I want to try to solve (or at least visualize). Intersections of multiple ellipsoids and cones....

#dataviz is critical, but I don't think in pictures, I think in spatial relations and movement (is this an #adhd thing?)

Movement happens in time and you usually want to viz the time axis all at once, so I've trained myself to turn "$variable vs t" into mental motion

Other times you need an interactive #ux and that usually means 3D

I love love love #pyqtgraph for #python plotting but they will be the first to tell you the 3D needs some love

My punfully-named work project has proved to be a hit[1] and I managed to get an 30y-experienced #software #developer *with an #astronomy degree* assigned to it. (This is a #space application)

She agreed that the 3D portion was neat but hard to use. She found #vtk, which seems to be the perfect partner because it does 3D really well, stays out of 2D and has a #pyqt connector.

I just worked through a tutorial and, yeah, this could be a huge breakthrough in my viz apps.

[1]They think they want to change the pun name but they are wrong. An unforgettable name is money in the bank.
