.SH "DESCRIPTION"
|
|
|
|
The Visualization ToolKit (VTK) is an open source, freely available
|
|
software system for 3D computer graphics, image processing, and
|
|
visualization used by thousands of researchers and developers around the
|
|
world. VTK consists of a C++ class library, and several interpreted
|
|
interface layers including Tcl/Tk, Java, and Python. Professional support
|
|
and products for VTK are provided by Kitware, Inc. VTK supports a wide
|
|
variety of visualization algorithms including scalar, vector, tensor,
|
|
texture, and volumetric methods; and advanced modeling techniques such as
|
|
implicit modelling, polygon reduction, mesh smoothing, cutting,
|
|
contouring, and Delaunay triangulation. In addition, dozens of imaging
|
|
algorithms have been directly integrated to allow the user to mix 2D
|
|
imaging / 3D graphics algorithms and data. The design and implementation
|
|
of the library has been strongly influenced by object-oriented principles.
|
|
VTK has been installed and tested on nearly every Unix-based platform, PCs
|
|
(Windows 98/ME/NT/2000/XP), and Mac OSX Jaguar or later.
|
|
|
|
VTK is far too extensive to document properly with man pages. Please visit
|
|
http://vtk.org for full documentation.
