I was just experimenting with Mayavi2 when your mail arrived! Thanks. 
I'll look at it over the weekend

We are working on making Mayavi2
(https://svn.enthought.com/enthought/wiki/MayaVi) suitable for what you
want to do. You can have a look at http://gael-varoquaux.info/blog/?p=3
for a demo of the capabilities and the interface. This is only part of
Mayavi2, as Mayavi2 also provides a fully-fledged visualisation
application.
Mayavi2 is based upon VTK but strives to make it interactive and to
provide a simple API. It is still in flux and documentation is sparse (I
am planning to address this problem this week end). Moreover some people
find installation painful. We are working on that and in the mean time we
are very willing to help people if they have difficulties with the
instructions on the webpage. If you want more info or help of any kind,
the relevant mailing list is

Hi
I want to write an application which includes multidimensional 
visualization. I tried running simple3d.py but it is slowwwwww! Also, 
I'm not sure if the Navigation Toolbar is working properly.
I looked into VTK and it certainly has good performance and good 
navigation but .... another steep learning and probably overkill for 
interacting with simple 3d plots.
Anyone have any thoughts on this?

Hi,
One annoyance with the TkAgg plotwindow is that it doesn't show the full 
plotarea. Comparing the plot result saved to png in visible-area-tk.png 
to the screen shot of the tkagg window in visible-area-tk-window.png you 
can see that there is a grey border covering some of the area at the edges.

Hi,
the tickmarks seem to be misaligned when saving figures with the pdf 
backend. I have attached a screen shot of one of the corners of the 
figure, the tickmarks do not align with the border of the axes. The 
figure was generated with the attached script.

Hi,
using the attached script to generate one pdf and one png of the same 
figure. I get a 800x600 pixel png which is expected for a 8x6in figure 
at 100 dpi. But for the pdf I get 11.11x8.33in as determined from the 
document properties dialog in acrobat reader. Looking at the file 
information on a mac it reports the size as 800x600 for the pdf.
Doing some more digging it turns out acrobat reader reports a correct 
size for the figure if I set dpi=72 when calling savefig. Perhaps there 
is some dpi information that needs to be saved with the pdf file?

I looked into this some more this morning, and discovered that this tick 
behavior also occurs when yaxis.tick_right() is called. xaxis.tick_top() 
behaves as it should, and the only difference I noticed stepping through a 
script with the debugger is that at the end of set_ticks position, YAxis does 
the following, but XAxis does not:
for t in ticks:
 t.update_position(t._loc)
I don't know what is this blocks purpose, adding it to YAxis didnt seem to 
have any effect.
