VTK +consists of a C++ class library and several interpreted interface layers +including Tcl/Tk, Java, and Python. Kitware, whose team created and continues +to extend the toolkit, offers professional support and consulting services for +VTK. VTK supports a wide variety of visualization algorithms including: scalar, +vector, tensor, texture, and volumetric methods; and advanced modeling techniques +such as: implicit modeling, polygon reduction, mesh smoothing, cutting, contouring, +and Delaunay triangulation. VTK has an extensive information visualization +framework, has a suite of 3D interaction widgets, supports parallel processing, +and integrates with various databases on GUI toolkits such as Qt and Tk.
