TVTK: Traited VTK
===================

Description

objects but additionally support Traits_, support numpy arrays transparently
and provide a convenient Pythonic API. TVTK is implemented mostly in pure
Python (except for a small extension module). TVTK is distributed under
a liberal BSD style license with the Mayavi_ package, which is part of the
Enthought Tool Suite (ETS) and is distributed. License
information is available in the LICENSE.txt file in this same directory.
