Open Source Visualization Toolkit
May 18th, 2007 | by Neal Levene |
The Visualization ToolKit (VTK) is open source 3D computer graphics, image processing, and visualization software.
VTK supports a wide variety of visualization algorithms including scalar, vector, tensor, texture, and volumetric methods; and advanced modeling techniques such as implicit modelling, polygon reduction, mesh smoothing, cutting, contouring, and Delaunay triangulation. In addition, dozens of imaging algorithms have been directly integrated to allow the user to mix 2D imaging / 3D graphics algorithms and data.

The toolkit is developed by Kitware, a company focusing on medical image analysis, 3D graphics, and visualization.

Very promising looking toolkit — even though it’s c++, it even looks like there are bindings for a bunch of languages. I’m a little skeptical about the patents though…
Just a heads up — the “Source: Visual Toolkit Website” link is broken.
