Extras

This section contains resources to expand the usage of PyVista beyond just running it from a Python console or IDE. For example, you can package PyVista in a docker image and build VTK with EGL to enable rich headless plotting on remote servers. You can also package PyVista using pyinstaller to be used within a standalone application.

See the Contributing section for details on contributing and how you can help develop PyVista.
