What is the best way to export VTKs to PDF? The GUI window of SfePy's viewer (the MayaVi 4.0.0 window) can write nicely to PNG but when it comes to PDF, the resulting file is unreadable by Evince of Acrobat Reader. Similarly, the SVGs cannot be imported into Inkscape, and the EPS files are not accepted by GhostScript. Thus, all vector formats seem to be broken.
Is there another way?
If it behaves the same bad way with pure mayavi (run its executable, open the file, add e.g. Surface module...),
Surface module!! This is what I needed to know ... I just wondered why MayaVi didn't show anything. ;-)
Yeah, the default to show nothing is not something a new user expects :).
It is also possible to specify filters/modules on the command line, e.g.:
mayavi2 -d cylinder.vtk -m Axes -m Surface
