You might be thinking of chaco, here, rather than traits/traitsUI. traits
and traisUI are not meant for scientific visualisation, but for GUI
designing (they do have a few plot widgets that call chaco, but they are
not very powerful). Chaco is the enthought library for plotting. It looks
great, but I must confess I haven't spent any time learn it.

You can have an idea of the basics of traits and traitsUI by checking out
