mayavi | 3D visualization of scientific data in Python | Data Visualization library

working with Matplotlib I have produced some resistivity cross sections of the soil, obtaining pictures like this:

Now I would like to display all those sections in 3D so as to visualise better the spatial distribution of resistivity in the field (i.e. a so-called fence diagram). I would also like to plot the 2D map of the site where those measurements were carried out at the base of my plot (say on the XY plane). As far as I have seen this is not feasible (or at least not convenient) with Matplotlib in 3D hence I decided to switch to Mayavi. My questions are:

1. is it feasible georeferenced rasters and then properly place them on the correct (vertical) planes (not necessarily parallel to the cartesian ones) with Mayavi? Does imshow() serves this purpose?
2. is it better to recreate the contours in Mayavi at the proper locations? If this is the case I did not find a function to create contours from unstructured data (the input images were created with tricontour/tricontourf in Matplotlib). I do not think interpolating over a structured grid in scipy would do, given the non convex domain.

I played a bit with Mayavi and particularly with tvtk but I struggle finding examples in which glyphs are placed on the scene at different orientation than default.

Based on this example I prepared the following scene with two cyllinders, one red and one blue,

I have generated a 3D graph network using the following code and Mayavi has been used for visualization.

I am trying to overlay a quiver3d plot over an imshow plot in mayavi. The code I am using looks something like this:

On Fedora 31, I tried to install mayavi with pip

I want to run a batch file in a Conda environment, not in the base env, but in another virtual environment (here pylayers). I copied the activate.bat script from F:\Anaconda3\Scripts to F:\Anaconda3\envs\pylayers\Scripts.

And my batch script (installer_win.bat) is:

I'm trying to use mayavi in python to visualize a pointcloud, and cannot resolve this error. I'm sure it is an easy pip install, but I am unsure of the command. Any help is much appreciated! Thanks!

BTW, I am running Ubuntu 18.04 and have tried installing scipy as mentioned here: Python import error "getfullargspec". I have also ran pip install traitsui. Additionally, I have rebooted my system.

Update: After further digging, it appears that it may be an issue with Python versions. I was able to get it to run with Python3, but not Python 2.7 (I need it to work with python 2). I have also tried modifying the code within handler.py to getargspec instead of getfullargspec. I was given an error about trait_factory by doing this

Here is the entire printout:

I'm having some difficulty using Mayavi mlab in python with PyCharm IDE from the MNE-Python environment. I access the Conda environment with Mayavi and VTK over a VNC session using a xvnc server from my local MacOS to a Linux cluster machine.

The error I get when opening a mlab window is:
