Can I display the Mayavi chart as a .vtk file for embedding in a web application?

Question

Ok, a bit of background here. I made a script that splits the dataset as 3D graphs using mlab.plot3d () several times in Mayavi, after reading it from the xlsx file. Now I'm trying to make a web application for interactive viewing of created 3D models in a web browser. After some searching, I found xtk and thought about saving Mayavi output as a .vtk file and viewing it on the Internet using xtk.

Question 1: is this a stupid plan? are there any simpler ways? Question 2: if possible, how can I output all the components of the mlab scene to a single vtk file?

I searched and found the save_output () function from the children of the Mayavi pipeline using a record, but this seems to work only for individual objects. Any idea how to do this for the whole scene?

Answer 1

If you installed mayavi, then you would include the python tvtk library, which is one of its dependencies. The documentation provides some examples of how you can write your structures to a vtk file using a function write_data.
