NAME

       VTK - Visualization ToolKit


SYNOPSIS

       -I/usr/local/include/vtk-5.4 -L/usr/local/lib/vtk-5.4 -lvtk*


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
