Glumpy is a Python library for fast, scalable scientific visualization built on a natural interface between NumPy and modern OpenGL. It provides GPU-accelerated rendering of large datasets with real-time performance for millions of points.
Use cases
- render millions of data points in real time
- visualize numpy arrays on the GPU
- simulate and display a spiral galaxy
- render surface heightfields from numpy arrays
- draw high-frequency signals with GPU multisampling
- compute and display Mandelbrot fractals
- render SVG graphics with minimal GL calls
When to choose
- you need hardware-accelerated scientific visualization in Python
- your datasets are too large for matplotlib to render interactively
- you want direct NumPy-to-OpenGL integration with custom shaders
When to avoid
- you need simple static plots or charts
- you want a high-level plotting API without writing shaders
- you need a maintained library with frequent updates and broad community support
