========================
Use a PyVista Qt backend
========================

PyVista Qt is a package that extends the PyVista functionality through the
usage of Qt. Qt applications operate in a separate thread than VTK, you can
simultaneously have an active VTK plot and a non-blocking Python session.

This example shows how to use the PyVista Qt backend to create a plotter
