Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

vedo

✓ import vedo

✗ from vedo import *

Star imports are discouraged; use explicit imports.

Mesh

✓ from vedo import Mesh

✗ from vedo.shapes import Mesh

Mesh is available directly from vedo, not from vedo.shapes.

Plotter

✓ from vedo import Plotter

✗ from vedo.plotter import Plotter

Plotter is exposed at the top-level vedo module.

dataobjects

✓ import vedo as vd; vd.dataobjects

No common wrong import; used for built-in datasets.

Creates and displays a sphere using vedo.

import vedo from vedo import Mesh # Load a simple sphere mesh sphere = vedo.Sphere() # Show it sphere.show().close()

Known issues

breakingIn v2023.5.0, .points() is renamed to .vertices, .faces() to .cells, .cell_centers() to .cell_centers (property), .normals() and .lines() are renamed similarly. Old code will break.

fix

Replace .points() with .vertices, .faces() with .cells, etc.

affects: >=2023.5.0

breakingIn v2024.5.0, plt.actors renamed to plt.objects.

fix

Use plt.objects instead of plt.actors.

affects: >=2024.5.0

deprecatedCornerAnnotation class removed in v2026.6.1; use Text2D instead.

fix

Replace CornerAnnotation with Text2D.

affects: >=2026.6.1

breakingIn v2023.4.5, module io.py renamed to file_io.py to avoid conflicting with stdlib io.

fix

Use from vedo.file_io import ... instead of from vedo.io import ...

affects: >=2023.4.5

gotchaTrame integration may require additional dependencies (trame, trame-vuetify). Not installed by default.

fix

Install with pip install vedo[trame] or manually install trame.

affects: all

Errors

Common errors & fixes

AttributeError: module 'vedo' has no attribute 'Sphere'

Importing vedo incorrectly or using an old version where Sphere is not exposed at top level.

fix

Use from vedo import Sphere or upgrade to a recent version (>=2020).

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'vedo.file_io'

Using an old version of vedo (pre-2023.4.5) where the module was named 'io'.

fix

Use from vedo.io import ... for old versions, or upgrade to >=2023.4.5 and use vedo.file_io.

RuntimeError: This method is not available for this type of mesh.

Calling a method that expects a Mesh object on a Volume or other type.

fix

Check the type of your object (type(obj)) and use appropriate methods for Mesh, Volume, etc.
