Have you written your own VTK C++ classes on top of the VTK core
? Here are some of them, but feel free to send me
any links to your own work : extending the VTK functionalities helps
! Don't forget to check: How

C++
vtkOpenGLOffscreenRenderWindow
(J. Shalf)
"Use in place of a vtkRenderWindow to draw an offscreen image.
This is specifically for Unix/OpenGL/X11 systems. [...] For SGI
systems, it will use pbuffers for hardware accelerated offscreen
rendering. For all other architectures, it will use GLX pixmaps
which tend to be software-rendering (except for hardware-accelerated
Mesa)."
vtkHDFReader
(J. Shalf)
"HDF4 is a self-describing platform independent binary file
format for storing Scientific Datasets. [...]. It also interoperates
with the Unidata NetCDF standard. The vtkHDFReader is able to read
HDF-SDS (Scientific Dataset) files into vtk as well as some versions
of NetCDF data."
vtkSMP
(J. Shalf)
"This is a slowly growing collection of vtk filters that are
being parallelized for Shared Memory Processor (SMP) architectures.
The target audience is people who have very large datasets and computers
with large numbers of processors and want to accelerate operations
like streamlines and contour filters in order to maintain interactive
performance."
vtkIVImporter
(S. Desmet)
The class vtkIVImporter is capable to import most VRML1.0 or Inventor1.0
scenes. The lex and yacc files come from an existing VRML1.0 syntax
checker. Code was incorporated to generate the necessary vtk structures.
vtkOrthoSlicer
(M. Hall)
"A small, fast orthogonal slicer for vtkStructuredPoints datasets.
It has the following advantages: 1)There are no extents or odd things
to set (it uses the dimensions of the input to determine the dimensions
of the slice plane). 2)To use it, you set the input, set the plane
normal (x,y, or z axes) and set the x,y, or z coordinate of the
plane. 3) It has 2 modes of output: Triangle strips and Quads (actually,
polygons)."
vtkSMG
(M. Hall)
"(Simple Multi Grid) This package is intended to make multigridded
datasets (i.e. collections of native vtk dataset types, most importantly
StructuredPoints ) into first class datatypes. Only a simple prototype
is availible now, however the non-"Simple" version will have the
ability to associate a structure with an MGDataset (For dealing
with simple collections of boxes, AMR datasets, or hierarchical
collections), thus allowing (specially written) filters to take
advantage of any inherent structure in the data. Threading will
be added at a later date. "
Classes
@ CINECA
(CINECA)
Various classes : Image Packing/Unpacking, Image Processing, Import/Export,
Geometric Tools, Math.
Qt
vtkQGL
- bringing VTK and Qt together
(J. Ehrhardt)
vtkQGL provides C++ classes to render your VTK data in a Qt widget.
Surface rendering and volume rendering is supported, and now some
classes for image display are added. Qt is a fully object-oriented
multi-platform GUI toolkit.
vtkQGL
: QT RenderWindow and RenderWindowInteractor Classes for VTK
(M. P. Pagey)
This package contains two classes vtkQGLRenderWindow and vtkQGLRenderWindowInteractor
which allow one to use VTK with the QGLWidget extension of Qt. In
other words, these classes can be used to build Qt applications
which utilize the facilities provided by the VTK libraries ; "It
should work with both VTK-2.4 and VTK-3.1.2. It also has full GNU
autoconf based installation. It does not use any X-windows specific
code and hence should work with Microsoft Windows [...]".
vtkQt
(M. Koenig.
)
The vtkQt classes combine VTK and Qt(TM) for X11.
VTK
and QT
(J. Stifter)
This package combines vtk and qt together ; "The package
is small and simple (800 lines of code), documented with doxygen,
flexible to use (dynamic definitons, mouse button) and has been
tested on win32, linux, SGI IRIX, IBM RS6000 AIX. It should run
on every system, which compiles vtk and qt.".
FLTK
vtkFlRenderWindow
(J. Shalf)
"vtkFlRenderWindow extends FLTK's ability to embed OpenGL drawing
areas into GUI's so that a vtkRenderWindow can be integrated with
an FL user interface [...] The Fast Light Toolkit (FLTK) is a really
nifty little cross-platform GUI framework which is complete with
a little GUI builder called Fluid."
vtkFlRenderWindowInteractor
(C. P. Botha)
"vtkFlRenderWindowInteractor is a VTK class [...] that enables
VTK to render to and interact with your FLTK application."
CAVE
Multipipe
Rendering in A CAVE using Performer and vtkActorToPF
(P. Rajlich, NCSA)
"The idea is that you can compute geometry using VTK and render
using Iris Performer. The advantage of doing so is that there are
some things that VTK hasn't been designed for, such as rendering
to multiple channels (i.e. multi-headed displays such as the CAVE
here at NCSA). Using vtkActorToPF, you can write interactive visualization
applications for such environments without much trouble. Performer
is a Silicon Graphics rendering library that also provides other
features not found in VTK such as scene-graphs and intersection
testing."
vtk2CAVE
(M. Hall)
"This small collection of files enables one to display a vtkActor
in a CAVE/ Immersadesk/ I-Wall, etc. with a very small amount of
work. It is very stable, very easy to use, and has a built in shared
mem. buffering scheme which means that you can use dynamic vtkActors
without writing your own double buffering code. Caveats are that
it does not yet support vtkCameras, Lights, or Texture Maps, but
if there is enough demand, these features can be added fairly easily."
FOX
FXVTKWindow
(shock8)
"FXVTKWindow is a FOX-GUI renderering window widget class for
the exceeding visualization library VTK."
