How should this be developed?

[Chilipp]

This package is just a proof on concept on how to combine the great visualization possibilities by vtk with the psyplot framework. This combination has a lot of potential. psyplot is easily scriptable and reproducible and, together with vtk in the form of pyvista. We can include this in paraview, the psyplot GUI and in jupyter notebooks. This definitely leverages the use of 3D visualization in daily scientific work of climate modellers.

The purpose of this issue is to collect ideas on how this package should evolve. I won't have time for further developments in the following months (I have to finish my PhD) but I am very keen to work on this package afterwards. You can see some examples interactively on how it works currently in the binder

At this point: Thanks to @banesullivan and @akaszynski for your work on pyvista 👍! I think this has great potential for Earth-System-Sciences 😄

This is really cool, @Chilipp!! I'm so happy to see that you are incorporating PyVista here!

I've been playing around with the notebooks on MyBinder - really love the example_ugrid notebook

I'll be sure to dive into this project's source code and provide my thoughts on what integration between psyplot and pyvista might look like moving forward

Awesome, thanks!
