VTK BasicsDescriptionThe 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. 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. 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.Availability and SetupVTK is available on all of the Linux Cluster machines but is not in a standard install directory so you will likely want to add /usr/local/vtk/bin/ to your path.If you have added VTK to your path, the command to run it is simply vtk. Additional Help/DocumentationFor more informations on VTK, visit Kitware's VTK web site.The manual for version 5.0 of VTK is also available online, along with an overview.
