+ Mayavi2 is a general purpose, cross-platform tool for 3-D scientific
+ data visualization. Its features include:
+ * Visualization of scalar, vector and tensor data in 2 and 3 dimensions.
+ * Easy scriptability using Python.
+ * Easy extendibility via custom sources, modules, and data filters.
+ * Reading several file formats: VTK (legacy and XML), PLOT3D, etc.
+ * Saving of visualizations.
+ * Saving rendered visualization in a variety of image formats.
+ * Convenient functionality for rapid scientific plotting via mlab
+
+ Mayavi2 has been designed with scriptability and extensibility in
+ mind. Mayavi2 provides a mayavi2 application which is usable by
+ itself. However, Mayavi2 may also be used as a plotting engine, in
+ scripts, like with matplotlib or gnuplot, as well as a library for
+ interactive visualizations in any other application. It may also be
+ used as an Envisage plug-in which allows it to be embedded in other
+ Envisage based applications natively.
