Awesome VTK

The Visualization Toolkit (VTK) is open source software for manipulating and displaying scientific data. It comes with state-of-the-art tools for 3D rendering, a suite of widgets for 3D interaction, and extensive 2D plotting capability.

This list is a collection of tools, projects, images, and resources conforming to the Awesome Manifesto
