<DIV><FONT size=2>Vtk Users,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I have a task to accomplish and vtk is one candidate as a tool
for it. I have a C/C++ program running in MS-Windows which generates a bunch of
3-5(?)D data, e.g pressure or velocity for some particular 3D points, for some
time instances, etc. I want to develop another program which can do the
following:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>1. Be called by the "mother" program, with the data loaded
in.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>2. Visualize the data, with different volume visualization
techniques, e.g isosurface, slices, streamlines etc.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>3. Create and play animation across the time
parameter.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>4. Export different files as images or videos.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>5. Having a customized GUI to control the visualization
actions.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>6. The mother program plus the visualization program can run
as a stand-alone program, under MS-Windows platform.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>It looks that vtk might be able to help. I would like to ask
your opinion and personal experiences about that, especially
regarding:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>1. Its capabilities for volume visualization functions,
isosurfaces, slices etc.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>2. Animation.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>3. Compatibility and data communication with other
programs.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>4. How easy is to install and run under
MS-Windows.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>5. Capability to create customized GUIs EASILY.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>6. Its general need for advanced programming development
skills.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I would appreciate any answer and information.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Regards,</FONT></DIV>
