Boston University’s Scientific Computing and Visualization (SCV) group will present a hands-on introduction to the scientific visualization package VTK. This tutorial will get members of the Boston University community started using the VTK software package and take them through the most commonly used visualization techniques.
The Visualization ToolKit (VTK) is an open source, freely available software system for 3D computer graphics, image processing, and visualization. VTK consists of a C++ class library, and several interpreted interface layers including Tcl/Tk, Java, and Python. During this tutorial we will cover the VTK visualization pipeline, VTK data types, the basics of VTK scripting, and common visualization techniques such as Color Mapping, Cutplanes, Contours/Isosurfaces, Hedgehogs, Oriented Glyphs, and Streamlines.
There is no charge for this tutorial, but we ask that you register.
