       Show HN: Datoviz 0.2.0, Vulkan-based GPU scientific visualization
       (C/C++/Python)
        
       I'm excited to announce the release of Datoviz 0.2.0, an open-
       source, high-performance GPU scientific visualization library built
       on Vulkan. It targets the interactive visualization of large 2D/3D
       datasets. This version includes tentative precompiled Python wheels
       for Linux, macOS (ARM and Intel), and Windows.  Datoviz is a key
       part of the CZI-funded Vispy 2.0 project and will serve as its main
       GPU backend. Datoviz provides core GPU visualization capabilities
       while VisPy 2.0 will provide high-level plotting functionality (a
       bit similar to NumPy vs SciPy).  What I'm looking for from the
       community:  1. Compatibility feedback: I'd appreciate quick
       feedback on how these precompiled Python wheels perform across
       different operating systems and graphics hardware.  2. Library
       feedback: Datoviz is still in its early stages and actively
       evolving. The API is subject to change, and I'd appreciate any
       feedback on its functionality and design.  Please report issues on
       GitHub.  Since the initial 2021 v0.1 release, the underlying
       technology has matured significantly. The internal architecture is
       now more robust and modular, paving the way for support for other
       rendering technologies like WebGPU and WebAssembly in the medium
       term.  While still somewhat limited, the focus is on ensuring
       stability, performance, and visual quality. Available visuals
       include points, markers, line segments, paths, glyphs, images,
       spheres, 3D meshes, and basic volume rendering. Some important
       features, like axes and picking, are planned for v0.3 and later.
       Please give it a try, report any issues on GitHub, and feel free to
       ask questions. You're also welcome to contribute. I'm looking
       forward to your feedback!
