Hi,

This is to announce the availability of the MayaVi Data Visualizer
version 1.0.

MayaVi is a free, easy to use scientific data visualizer.  It is
written in Python and uses the Visualization Toolkit (VTK) for the
graphics.  It provides a GUI written using Tkinter.  MayaVi is free
and distributed under the GNU GPL.  It is also cross platform and
should run on any platform where both Python and VTK are available.

MayaVi is based on ideas from an earlier Computational Fluid Dynamics
(CFD) data visualizer called VTK-CFD.  The original VTK-CFD code base
has been completely rewritten and redesigned.  The resulting project
has been renamed MayaVi and has been SourceForged.

For more information, downloadable sources, screenshots, installation
instructions, documentation etc. visit the MayaVi home page at:

	http://mayavi.sourceforge.net


Also bundled with MayaVi is a VTK pipeline browser written in Python.
This pipeline browser enables one to view and configure the objects in
the VTK pipeline.  Also included with this is a simple VTK object
"pickler".  Using this one can save the state of a VTK object to a
file and reload it later.  The latest version of the pipeline browser
is 1.1 and is available at:

Have fun!
