VTK for Data Exploration & Visualization

March 29, 2023 | 9am to 5pm CET / GMT+1h | Online

VTK (the Visualization Toolkit) is an open-source, freely available software system for scientific visualization. Initiated in 1993, this library is now available in version 9.0.3 and is already used in various applications: ParaView, 3D Slicer, PyVista, vedo, TTK … it can even be used in Blender and Unity. In this training, we will see the basics of VTK and create analysis and visualisation pipelines. Then we will see how to manage input and output and create custom processing filters, for data in 2D, 3D or more. At the end, we will learn how to quickly prototype an analysis with PyVista, ParaView or in a Jupyter Notebook.
