Animate 3D Surface
Hi, is there a way to animate a 3D surface in python using matplotlib 0.98 / mayavi 3 (i have the python(xy) suite for windows) or vpython? In *vpython* I tried to adjust the included faces_heightfield.py demo. But didnt find a way to delete the old surface. I just add more... In *matplotlib* I heard that the 3d features are discontinued in 0.91 (or something like that) And in *mayavi* I played around with surf() but with the surf(fkt(z0,0)).mlab_source.set command the picture won't update + show (the demo file in the documentation didnt work as well). I know there are vpython and mayavi mailing lists, but I didn't get an answer from them. I just hope someone of you can give me some construct which will work. Maybe I am just using the wrong methods. thanks alot!! - Philip -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Animate Surface / Clear Scene (vpython)
Hi there! I just found a nice vpython example program on how to create surfaces (its one of the standard examples if you download vpython ... called faces_heightfield - just search for that). Is there a way to animate this surface? All my attempts resulted in creating just another surface without deleting the old one. Or is there a clear scene from all objects command? If animating such a surface in vpython is too complicated / slow / etc ... I have to try mayavi. But I already know vpython ;) thanks alot -Philip -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Create 3D Surface / Contour (with vpython?)
Hi! How can I create a 3D surface (or something like the picture on the FAQ page http://www.vpython.org/contents/FAQ.html ) with python [or vpython]. Didnt find anything in the Documentation under graph Basically like a contourf diagram in 3D ( http://www.techsoft.de/german/documents/images/3D_contour2.jpg). I think you know what I mean. Reason: I want to simulate waves in a square basin. Hope I dont need to use hundrets of little spheres (in case of vpython) for the surface ;) Thanks alot - Philip -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Create multiple variables (with a loop?)
Hi, I need to create multiple variables (lets say 10x10x10 positions of atoms). Is it possible to create them through a loop with some kind of indexing like atom000, atom001, etc? Or is this a very bad idea? Thing is ... i want to create a grid of atoms in vpython and then calculate the forces for each of them (to their neighbours). Don't know how else I could do that. Maybe a huuuge matrix? Thx for your help! - Philip -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
