技术背景

三维可视化是一项在工业领域中非常重要的技术，而Python中最热门的可视化工具matplotlib和plotly，更加倾向于在数据领域的可视化，用于展现数据的结果。类似的还有百度的pyechart也相对美观，但是这些毕竟都是在数据层面的可视化，对于工业领域，比如一个地形，一个三维的期间等等，用这些工具来做可视化效果非常的不佳，因此我找到了pyvista这个工具，简单摸索了一下给大家做个引荐。

安装pyvista

因为pyvista及其依赖都是一些python库，这就使得我们可以用pip直接简单的安装，这里放几个可能用到的依赖的安装流程：

到这里为止，我们所需要的插件就基本上安装完成了。

案例测试

到这里为止我们就可以看下这个库的运行效果。

画单个球体

首先执行一个画球的简单案例，这里一般都是在jupyter notebook上实现的，pyvista对于jupyter notebook有较好的支持。

import pyvista as pv
sphere = pv.Sphere()
sphere.plot(jupyter_backend='static')

运行的效果如下：

pyvistaqt案例

这里是一个官方提供的弹出式窗口的绘图方案：

from threading import Thread
import time
import numpy as np
import pyvista as pv
import pyvistaqt as pvqt
from pyvista import examples


globe = examples.load_globe()
globe.point_arrays['scalars'] = np.random.rand(globe.n_points)
globe.set_active_scalars('scalars')


plotter = pvqt.BackgroundPlotter()
plotter.add_mesh(globe,lighting=False,show_edges=True,texture=True,scalars='scalars')
plotter.view_isometric()

# shrink globe in the background
def shrink():
    for i in range(50):
        globe.points *= 0.95
        # Update scalars
        globe.point_arrays['scalars'] = np.random.rand(globe.n_points)
        time.sleep(0.5)

thread = Thread(target=shrink)
thread.start()

执行后会弹出一个pyqt的窗口如下所示：

这个图其实是一个动态图，但是qt的这个方案似乎不能在界面上直接导出gif，这一点比较可惜。不过在pyvista的接口文档中，其实是包含导出gif视频和mp4视频的，相关接口可以参考：GIF生成示例和MP4生成示例这两个案例。

多模块可视化

在pyvista里面可以用MultiBlock将相关的模块都集成起来，比如这个案例中集成了两个球体，其实使用的方法也很简单，就是把创建的对象归纳到一个列表中：

import pyvista as pv
sphere1 = pv.Sphere(radius=0.1,center=(0,0))
sphere2 = pv.Sphere(radius=0.1,1))
data = [sphere1,sphere2]
blocks = pv.MultiBlock(data)
blocks.plot(jupyter_backend='static',show_axes=1)

生成的结果如下图所示：

需要注意的是，因为这里都还是静态图片，三维的视角不可以调整，因此如果坐标设置不当的话，有可能导致两个球体的视角刚好重合，看起来就只有一个球体。

多模块可视化耗时

基于上述的MultiBlock，我们可以很方便的生成一大堆的数据，但是这里可视化的速率也是我们不得不考虑的一个因素，所以这里我们尝试一个1000个球体的可视化，并输出时间：

import pyvista as pv
import numpy as np
import time
start_time=time.time()
data = [pv.Sphere(radius=0.01,center=(np.random.random(),np.random.random(),np.random.random())) for i in range(1000)]
blocks = pv.MultiBlock(data)
blocks.plot(jupyter_backend='static',show_axes=1)
end_time=time.time()
print ('The time cost of ploting {} spheres is: {}s'.format(len(data),end_time-start_time))

生成的结果如下：

经过过程统计，耗时将近10s。

The time cost of ploting 1000 spheres is: 9.896512746810913s

这其实是一个比较慢的速度，让人有点担忧啊，对于一些几十万的体系，那可视化时间不得冲一天去了，这还不包含中间的时间戳。

动态画板

这里要用到我们之前安装的一个插件ipygany，可以在jupyter notebook中显示出来一个动态的画板，这样我们就可以用鼠标去拖动这个三维图，可以看不同的视角，如下是一个简单的单球体案例：

import pyvista as pv
sphere = pv.Sphere()
plotter = pv.Plotter(notebook=True)
plotter.add_mesh(sphere)
plotter.show(jupyter_backend='ipygany')

可视化效果图大概这样，只有在jupyter notebook中才能看到效果：

最后补充一个自己写的简单案例，可以在面板上画两个不同位置的三维球，使用方法是直接将两个对象加起来，这个就是python中一些魔法函数的优势了，非常的人性化：

import pyvista as pv
plotter = pv.Plotter(notebook=True)
plotter.add_mesh(pv.Sphere(radius=0.3,0))+pv.Sphere(radius=0.3,1)))
plotter.show(jupyter_backend='ipygany')

可视化的效果大概如下：

那么到这里，需要将的基本用例就介绍完成，后续更多的功能，大家可以自行探索。

总结概要

本文通过对pyvista这一相对“冷门”的python三维可视化工具的摸索，总结了安装与基本的使用示例，包括单模块、多模块、静态图、动态画板、gif和mp4视频的导出等。总体来说pyvista是一款渲染效果很棒的可视化软件，但是性能相对来说没有那么可观，对于规模不大的体系还是一个非常好用的工具，推荐使用。
