What do you mean by that? That you can "use" properties of visvis objects as
treats?

I use Enthought's Traits for my GUI (with a wx backend under that). Mayavi can
be be embedded in a Traits GUI so my suggestion was to look at something
similar for visvis.

It's just that although I do know approximately what Traits are, I've never
actually worked with them, so I'm not sure what it means if visvis were
embedded in a Traits GUI.
Could you tell me a bit more about what this means in practice (for you as a
user)?
Traits seem like a good idea, so you've got my attention (although I might not
rate it a very high priority right now).

Sent an email reply to visvis@googlecode.com with an image attached but don't
know whether that got through or not so here it is again...
I find Traits gives you the ability to create a high quality GUI while coding
at a high level. I don't require any low level wx or Qt knowledge. Obviously
this is all leveraging the excellent work that the Enthought developers and
some other key open source developers (Gael Varoquaux etc.) have done. I've
attached a screenshot which shows the type of GUI I can build with a Mayavi
view embedded.

Mmm, I've also checked out some examples on the web, and it looks like
something really useful. Also to visvis, because visvis already makes good use
of properties.
One condition that I have, is that visvis should not depend on it. So it should
like check if Traits is installed and "embed" it if it is.
I do not have time to dive into this, but maybe you can get some stuff started?
For instance some example code that defines an object that would dynamically be
Trait-able if Traits is installed and behave normally if it isnt. Something
like a demonstration that its possible. Me or Robert can then later join you
and make it work for visvis.
If you have the time, that is. If not, I'll leave this open and someone will
start working on this in the future.
