I guess it depends on what you want to do with your data in the end. We started out with some Matlab examples and worked our way from there, so we ended up using the vector field directly.

I didn’t really think about that you could use Mayavi’s filters to get the derivatives. Thanks for the tip!

Perhaps this would be more general :). I did just that for the dipole configuration, now I am working it out for other systems too.

The examples should give an idea about what Mayavi is capable of and how to get started. We will probably write a couple more tutorials about Mayavi here as well, so make sure you check back later.

As mentioned earlier, you don’t have to use Ubuntu or Linux to create these designs, but it certainly is easier to get the necessary tools and packages downloaded right away using Ubuntu.

Unfortunately, I have not yet jumped on the Linux bandwagon as of yet. But with this new concept, I might turn over a new leaf. Thank you for sharing this.
