pyvisual — 3D solar-physics visualization for MHD datasets.

pyvisual is developed and maintained by Predictive Science Inc. (PSI) and provides an interactive 3D visualization layer for solar and magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) model output. It wraps pyvista.Plotter with spherical-coordinate awareness, observer controls, and rendering utilities tuned to the PSI data ecosystem (psi-io, mapflpy).

Quick start#

>>> from pyvisual import Plot3d
>>>
>>> plotter = Plot3d()
>>> plotter.add_sun()
>>> plotter.show()

Sub-packages#

pyvisual.core

The Plot3d plotter, mesh classes (SphericalMesh, CartesianMesh), mixin classes, parsers, constants, type aliases, and styling defaults.

pyvisual.utils

Coordinate-transform geometry utilities (geometry), pooch-based asset fetching (data), and miscellaneous helpers (helpers).
