Installation
Installation using pip is:

To install this package with conda run:
$ conda install -c conda-forge pyvistaqt
You will need a suitable Qt binding (abstraction provided by qtpy), so install PySide6 or PyQt6 using pip or conda as well. PyQt5 is end-of-life upstream, but is still tested in CI and should work.
You can also visit PyPI or GitHub to download the source.
Once installed, use the pyvistaqt.BackgroundPlotter like any PyVista plotter.
