ITK’s architectural modularization, which occurred in version 4.0, allowed the toolkit to scale in content while remaining organized.  In particular, we introduced remote modules that allowed methods to be redistributed for optional inclusion when ITK is built.   Additionally, we made it easy for researchers to extend existing ITK methods and develop entirely new ITK methods […]

Since we’ve migrated to our GitLab instance for our main projects, our buildbot instance has been in charge of testing. This has largely replaced our continuous dashboards for testing. It has also largely replaced our nightly dashboards since it also runs over master branch updates. At first, we had some simple test scheduling using an […]

One question about ParaView that comes up from time to time is how to define time-varying data sources with the Programmable Source. I’ll show the basics of doing this here. Let’s start by looking at a simple example that produces a single static sphere. First, fire up ParaView and create a Programmable Source. The Script property for the Programmable Source […]

To create easily distributable C++ executables for Linux, the binaries’ dependencies should be minimized.  In order to reduce an executable’s dependencies, a binary can be created by linking static libraries. Static linking can be used with most libraries, including the C++ standard library, but it is not preferred with the standard system C library, glibc. […]

Kitware is excited to announce Resonant, a new open-source entry point into the data and analytics space. In recent years, there have been many advances in cloud computing, large-scale analytics tools, and Web standards. But, we found a lack of fully open, extensible, deployable, and integrative tools for researchers. To address this issue, we decided […]

With the ability to write data sources and filters in Python code within a ParaView pipeline, we are able to quickly prototype added functionality that our geodynamic scientists are eager to use. This article provides details on the implementation of a selection of these filters as Python programmable filters. Some of the added features are […]
