• PyVTK

    • PyVTK is the wrapper for VTK (written in C++). VTK or visualization Toolkit is a high-level visualization library used for 3D computer graphics and visualizations.
      • Maintained and developed by: Kitware

  • Manim (Mathematical Animation)

    • Started by Grant Sanderson (aka 3b1b) for as his own personal project. Now one of the most famous toolkits out there for explanatory animations. It uses cairo (pycairo) to write svgs and ffmpeg to merge them. The final output is a .mp4 file. However, the lack of documentation makes it harder to use.

  • Mayavi

    • Created by Prof. Prabhu Ramachandran, mayavi works on top of VTK. It can either be used as a python package or from the GUI module. More info avilable at the Mayavi docs
      • Mayavi is now under the Enthought suite of scientific Python programs

  • Vispy

    • VisPy was designed by Luke Campagnola, Almar Klein, Cyrille Rossant and Nicolas P. Rougier. It was aimed at creating fast andscalable visualization. VisPy is a sucessor of visvis. However, I am doubful if the project is being actively maintained.

  • Glumpy

    • VisPy's sister project, glumpy is a neatly designed interface between NumPy and OpenGL. It gives more low-level access than VisPy. Their documentation states: "Glumpy is a python library for scientific visualization that is both fast, scalable and beautiful. Glumpy offers an intuitive interface between numpy and modern OpenGL."
