MayaVi is a pretty powerful tool. This chapter describes the GUI
that MayaVi provides and the way to use it. This chapter gets you
started using MayaVi.
</p><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="starting"></a>Starting MayaVi</h2></div></div></div><p>
Under *nix if your installation is setup such that the script
<span><strong class="command">mayavi</strong></span> is on the system wide path just run the
executable <span><strong class="command">mayavi</strong></span> anywhere. If not, change the
current directory to the directory where MayaVi was installed and run:
</p><pre class="screen">
<code class="prompt">%</code> <span><strong class="command">mayavi &</strong></span>
</pre><p> If you have an already saved MayaVi visualization in some file,
say <code class="filename">saved_viz.mv</code> you can start MayaVi using that
file like so:
</p><pre class="screen">
<code class="prompt">%</code> <span><strong class="command">mayavi saved_viz.mv &</strong></span>
</pre><p>
Under Windows visit the directory where MayaVi was installed and
double click on the executable <span><strong class="command">mayavi.pyw</strong></span>. If
your installation went well this should start MayaVi.
</p><p>
If you have problems running MayaVi, consult the MayaVi home page
and look at the Installation sections. You can also ask for help at
the mailing list or ask the author.
