Hi all,

I’m wondering whether there are any examples of using VTK-m (Viscores) through VTK in a Python script.

If I want to enable VTK-m acceleration (for example with CUDA), do I need to recompile VTK with python module and CUDA/VTK-m enabled, or can this be used directly from an existing VTK Python installation (such as pip install vtk)?

Any guidance or example references would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! 🙏
