Process images and create 3D computer graphics with the Visualization Toolkit.
The Visualization Toolkit (VTK) is open source software for manipulating and displaying scientific data. It comes with state-of-the-art tools for 3D rendering, a suite of widgets for 3D interaction, and extensive 2D plotting capability.
VTK is part of Kitware’s collection of supported platforms for software development. The platform is used worldwide in commercial applications, as well as in research and development. For examples, please see VTK in Action.
Supercomputing 2023
The theme for SC23, “I Am HPC,” is fitting for Kitware because we’ve been a part of the HPC community for more than two decades. From the early days at Kitware when we were developing VTK to building software that thrives on the world’s most powerful computers today, scientific visualization is a critical part of who we are as a company.
How to write time dependent data in VTKHDF files
Thanks to recent developments, the VTKHDF format now supports storing time dependent data in a single HDF5 file. The details of the specification can be found here: https://docs.vtk.org/en/latest/design_documents/VTKFileFormats.html#transient-data, but for convenience, the synthetic diagram is reproduced below in Figure 1. Figure 1: Schematic diagram of the time dependent meta-data in the VTKHDF format The idea […]
