[SciPy-User] Mayavi delaunay3D triangles

[Gary Ruben]

Hi Boris,

Take a look at the Delaunay graph example in the online Mayavi 
documentation here:
<http://code.enthought.com/projects/mayavi/docs/development/html/mayavi/auto/example_delaunay_graph.html#example-delaunay-graph>
I think it does what you're asking. If not, examine the data returned by 
the mlab.pipeline.delaunay3d(vtk_source) call.

Also, there's a Mayavi support list here:
