Section author: Florian Zill (Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research GmbH - UFZ)

meshplotlib provides an easy way to create high quality contourplots of 2D or 3D mesh data. It is heavily based on matplotlib and pyvista.

Features#

  • plotting of point or cell data

  • plotting multiple meshes in a subplot grid

  • projections of arbitrarily oriented 2D meshes

  • isometric views of 3D meshes

  • show region/material boundaries (optionally with labels)

  • show element boundaries

  • streamlines of vector data

  • sensible default colormaps

  • nicely formatted colorbars

  • a temporary interface class for Meshes

  • a temporary interface class for MeshSeries (.pvd or .xdmf)
