Visualization

In particular 3D options for plotting, which option should we target.

  • yt - Originally analysis toolkit for astronomy, now more general
    • Does AMR natively
    • Need backend, basic things with matplotlib's mplot3d
    • Does cut-planes, iso-surfaces, streamlines...
    • Includes analysis tools
    • Reads a bunch of AMR data formats and some parallel capabilities but limited for both
    • New version (3.0.1) seems to be the thing to target
  • VisIt
    • Handles AMR "out of the box"
  • Paraview
    • XMDF - Meta-data file for VTK files, used in Paraview
    • Poor python interface
