Animating a mayavi points3d plot
Just change to: … for (x, y, z) in zip(xs, ys, zs): print(‘Updating scene…’) plt.mlab_source.set(x=x, y=y, z=z) yield … you don’t even need the f.scene.render(), according to documentation mlab_source.set guarantees the refresh. Also since shape of your data doesn’t change you don’t need to use mlab_source.reset. I also tested and works fine.
