Hi,

Sorry for the extremely delayed response.

With VTK you can use texture maps to texture a polygonal dataset.  You
could just as easily specify the data attributes along the surface of
the sphere and visualize that.  You could do this as either a
structured grid, polygonal data set or an unstructured grid depending
on the nature of the data you have.  You might want to read the
section on creating data files here:

 http://mayavi.sourceforge.net/docs/mayavi_talk.pdf

You might want to try out tvtk
(http://svn.enthought.com/enthought/wiki/TVTK) if you are looking for
a Pythonic way to create your data set.

cheers,
