Support for Pyvista

[RemDelaporteMathurin]

Hi all! I would like to display pyvista plots, however I run into issues when not running in OFF_SCREEN mode.

Is this supported by Jupyter-book?

Thanks!

Hi @RemDelaporteMathurin It's not currently supported, but it's obviously a very interesting thing for us to support. Curious about the off-screen mode, are you saying that in off-screen mode it does work and you can display something? Do you have an example of it working in off-screen mode just for us to understand what that means?

Hi @stevejpurves thanks for the quick reply! I'm working on this book here but it doesn't work yet. https://festim-vv-report--84.org.readthedocs.build/en/84/verification/mms/simple.html

But @jorgensd managed to make it work in this other book: https://jsdokken.com/dolfinx-tutorial/chapter1/fundamentals_code.html#plotting-the-mesh-using-pyvista so there should be a way!

Using html as backend for jupyter should make it render.

HTML worked!

It may be worth having a section on pyvista in the interactive content section of the documentation what do you think @stevejpurves ?
