BAD NEWS: Kitware will deprecate Tcl/Tk support inside VTK, see message: [L1 ], and merge request https://gitlab.kitware.com/vtk/vtk/merge_requests/3582


Vtk [L2 ] 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 [L3 ], [L4 ]. It's also tightly integrated with Java and C++.

Its test suite, Dart, automates nightly regression testing and puts status displays on the Web [L5 ]. It, too, is open source and is discussed further on the testing page of the Wiki.

What: vtkGUI
Where: http://www.hpc.cineca.it/software/vtkgui-visual-programming-tool-visualization-toolkit
http://sourceforge.net/projects/vtkgui/
Description: vtkGUI is a free, open source program written in TCL/IncrTCL that was initially inspired by vtkPipeline and vtkShow. 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.

*read Structured or Unstructured data files in VTK-format ("data.vtk")
*visualize the grid
*visualize isolines (isosurfaces)
*visualize carpets of 2d scalar data, shading
*visualize vectorfields as arrows, multiple arrowtypes can be chosen from
*make simple animations
