[http://www.kitware.com/opensource/img/VTK_logo.png] Vtk [http://www.kitware.com/] is a powerful engine for scientific visualization. It's open source. [Karl Lehenbauer] finds it "quite amazing". It has used Tcl/Tk as an integration platform from nearly the beginning [http://www.usenix.org/publications/library/proceedings/tcl96/martin.html] [http://public.kitware.com/VTK/pdf/dioot.pdf], however, as of 2017 '''[VTK is deprecating Tcl/Tk]'''. It's also tightly integrated with Java and C++. Its test suite, Dart, automates nightly regression [testing] and puts status displays on the Web [http://public.kitware.com/VTK/Testing/Dashboard/MostRecentResults-Nightly/Dashboard.html]. It, too, is open source and is discussed further on the [testing] page of the Wiki. | What:| vtkedit| | Where:| http://www.esat.kuleuven.ac.be/%7Evtkedit/index.shtml| | Description:| Editor for the VTk visualization toolkit| | Updated:| 07/2001| | Contact:| mailto:[email protected]| <<br>> | What:| Visualization Toolkit (VTk)| | Where:| http://www.kitware.com/opensource/vtk.html <<br>> http://www.vtk.org/| |Description:| An object-oriented 3D visualization system (3D computer graphics, image processing and visualization) written in C++ with full bindings for Tcl/Tk, Java and Python.

Its purpose is to allow quick assembly of a VTK pipeline in order to teach/learn/prototype with VTK. vtkGUI is not meant to do any robust work. However, since it can save VTK pipelines in both TCL and C++ it can be used as the starting point for any bigger application.| | Updated:| 11/2004| | Contact:| mailto: [email protected]| <<br>> | What:| VisuSimple| | Where:| http://dunne.uni-hd.de/VisuSimple/| | Description:| VisuSimple is an interactive visualization and graphics/mpeg-generation program for 2D- and 3D-data in the VTK-format.
