Temporal function inspired from http://holoviews.org/user_guide/Live_Data.html

alpha = 2
xvals  = np.linspace(-4, 4,101)
yvals  = np.linspace(-4, 4,101)
xs, ys = np.meshgrid(xvals, yvals)

#temporal function to create data on a plane
def time_function(time):
    return np.sin(((ys/alpha)**alpha+time)*xs)

# 3d plane to support the data
mesh_ref = pv.UniformGrid(
    (xvals.size, yvals.size, 1), #dims
    (xvals[1]-xvals[0],yvals[1]-yvals[0],1), #spacing
    (xvals.min(),yvals.min(),0) #origin
)
mesh_ref.point_arrays.append(time_function(0).flatten(order='F'), 'scalars') #add data for time=0
pl_ref = pv.Plotter()
pl_ref.add_mesh(mesh_ref, cmap='rainbow')
pn.panel(pl_ref.ren_win)

We will demonstrate how to warp the surface and plot a temporal animation

mesh_warped = mesh_ref.warp_by_scalar() # warp the mesh using data at time=0
#create the pyvista plotter
pl = pv.Plotter()
pl.add_mesh(mesh_warped, cmap='rainbow')

#initialize panel and widgets

App

Lets wrap it into nice template that can be served via panel serve VTKWarp.ipynb

pn.template.FastListTemplate(site="Panel", title="VTK Warp", main=["This app demonstrates the use of `VTK`", component]).servable();
