<br>You are correct. The core of the VTK toolkit is written in C/C++ and there are wrappers (so functions that call "vtk functions") in a variety of languages, for example tcl, python, java<br><div class="gmail_quote">
<div><br></div><div>I'm not sure what you mean with "the VTK files". There are basically two type of files relevant here. The files that describe data (e.g. .vtk .vtp .ply .mhd, etc) organized in cells, polygons, points, images, etc. There is nothing to run here.</div>
<div><br></div><div>The other type of files hold the code in the language of your choice. So this could be tcl if that would be the language of your choice, but also python, java, C++ or perhaps even something else. The reason that I suggested python is that, as many have some experience with Matlab, this is something you can learn quite fast.</div>

Well.... I'm doing a final year project on facial reconstruction. So basically what i want to do is to reconstruct the face from a 3D model of the skull I have. I ran the spikeF.tcl file inside the "Examples\VisualizationAlgorithms\Tcl" folder and it works fine.. Like in that example I need to mark certain points on the skull and then based on them to have skin of face created. Like the way the frogs skeleton is overlaid with the skin..<br>
<br>That is what i want to use VTK for.. Yeah as u said i can run the tcl scripts. But cant run the VTK files. You have asked me to try Devide Runtime Environment or pythonxy with the vtk plugin. Are both these for python codes?<br>
I mean i'm confused... Tcl/tk is a standalone language right? I mean I cud run those codes without needing to install anythin else. But from what u are saying, i understand as if I hv to use python or some other language for VTK.. <br>
I might have got you wrong. And as i said i'm completly new to this. So can u explain this to me?<span><font color="#888888"><br><br><br clear="all"><br>-- <br>Anuradha :)<br><br>
