{"product_id":"vtk-users-guide","title":"VTK User's Guide","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Visualization Toolkit (VTK) is an open-source  freely available software system for 3D computer graphics  image processing and visualization. VTK consists of a C class library and several interpreted interface layers including Tcl\/Tk  Java  and Python. 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. VTK is cross-platform and runs on Linux  Windows  Mac and Unix platforms. The VTK User s Guide contains everything you need to install  use  and extend VTK. Detailed examples  installation procedures  developers guide  file format descriptions  how to write imaging and graphics filters  plus data object API details. The text includes source code  updated HTML documentation  release notes  data  and PC binaries. The VTK Users Guide is a companion text to The VTK Textbook; while The VTK Textbook stresses algorithmic and data structure details  the VTK Users Guide stresses how to use the software. The Eleventh Edition of the VTK User s Guide features a new chapter detailing VTKs information visualization functionality  including the table  graph  and tree data structures required to represent nonspatial data; enhanced details on 2D and 3D widgets and other forms of user interaction required to create an exploratory visualization application; a new chapter on geospatial visualization for geographically organized data; additional details on time dependent and composite data; and a discussion of advanced rendering techniques  including depth peeling for transparency. As always  the VTK User s Guide includes: a description of the structured and unstructured data types supported by VTK; details on the pipeline architecture model; an overview of the rendering engine used to display data; examples showing the use of various scalar and vector visualization and data processing algorithms; chapters dedicated to image processing and volume rendering; and information on how to write your own algorithms in VTK  including details on the VTK coding style.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44986455130165,"sku":"ByrdShop_1930934238","price":34.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781930934238.jpg?v=1770905499","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/vtk-users-guide","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
