The Visualization Toolkit (VTK) is an open-source, freely available software
|
||
|
|
system for 3D computer graphics, image processing and visualization. VTK
|
||
|
|
consists of a C++ class library and several interpreted interface layers
|
||
|
|
including Tcl/Tk, Java, and Python. Kitware, whose team created and continues
|
||
|
|
to extend the toolkit, offers professional support and consulting services for
|
||
|
|
VTK. VTK supports a wide variety of visualization algorithms including: scalar,
|
||
|
|
vector, tensor, texture, and volumetric methods; and advanced modeling
|
||
|
|
techniques such as: implicit modeling, polygon reduction, mesh smoothing,
|
||
|
|
cutting, contouring, and Delaunay triangulation. VTK has an extensive
|
||
|
|
information visualization framework, has a suite of 3D interaction widgets,
|
||
|
|
supports parallel processing, and integrates with various databases on GUI
|
||
|
|
toolkits such as Qt and Tk.
