		Mayavi2 is a general purpose, cross-platform tool for 3-D scientific
		data visualization. Its features include:
		* Visualization of scalar, vector and tensor data in 2 and 3 dimensions.
		* Easy scriptability using Python.
		* Easy extendibility via custom sources, modules, and data filters.
		* Reading several file formats: VTK (legacy and XML), PLOT3D, etc.
		* Saving of visualizations.
		* Saving rendered visualization in a variety of image formats.
		* Convenient functionality for rapid scientific plotting via mlab

		Mayavi2 has been designed with scriptability and extensibility in
		mind. Mayavi2 provides a mayavi2 application which is usable by
		itself. However, Mayavi2 may also be used as a plotting engine, in
		scripts, like with matplotlib or gnuplot, as well as a library for
		interactive visualizations in any other application. It may also be
		used as an Envisage plug-in which allows it to be embedded in other
		Envisage based applications natively.
