<h1><A NAME="Introduction">Introduction</h1>
VTK is an open-source software system for image processing, 3D graphics,
volume rendering and visualization. VTK includes many advanced algorithms
(e.g., surface reconstruction, implicit modelling, decimation) and rendering
techniques (e.g., hardware-accelerated volume rendering, LOD control).<p>
VTK is used by academicians for teaching and research; by government research
institutions such as Los Alamos National Lab in the US or CINECA in Italy; and
by many commercial firms who use VTK to build or extend products.<p>
The origin of VTK is with the textbook "The Visualization Toolkit, an
Object-Oriented Approach to 3D Graphics" originally published by
Prentice Hall and now published by Kitware, Inc. (Third Edition
ISBN 1-930934-07-6). VTK has grown (since its initial release in 1994)
to a world-wide user base in the commercial, academic, and research
communities.<p>
This README is written for VTK version 5.0 and greater. For more information,
additional resources, and the FAQ see the web page at

The VTK source code repository is organized into four major sections.
<ul>
<li>The toolkit source code is found in the following directories
next to this README. In some cases an additional README.html
file may be found in the named directory. Please see these for
more information.
<ul>
<li><b>Common</b>- Core classes commonly used by other kits
<li><b>Filtering</b>- Data pipeline implementation superclasses
<li><b>Rendering</b>- Classes used to render a scene (surface primitives)
<li><b>Graphics</b>- Filters that process 3D data

<h1><a name="Compilation">Compilation</h1>
<div align="left" style="width:720;">
The Visualization Toolkit can be built on UNIX, PC (Windows
95/98/NT/2000/XP), and Mac OSX Jaguar (or greater) systems. VTK uses
<a href="http://www.cmake.org">CMake</a> to generate its build system.
To build VTK one must first install CMake version 2.0 or higher.
CMake may be downloaded from <a
href="http://www.cmake.org/HTML/Download.html">http://www.cmake.org/HTML/Download.html</a>.
The instructions below cover the basics of running CMake for VTK under
the assumption that CMake is already installed. See the CMake web
page for details on
<a href="http://www.cmake.org/HTML/Install.html">intalling</a> and
<a href="http://www.cmake.org/HTML/RunningCMake.html">running</a> CMake.
<p>
Compiling VTK requires a complete VTK source tree. Running VTK tests
requires a complete VTK data tree. Now is the time to extract the
source and data archives if one has not done so already. These
instructions assume there is a directory "<code>VTK</code>" containing
the source code and optionally a sibling direcory
"<code>VTKData</code>" containing the data.
<p>
<h2><a name="Building">Building with CMake</h2>
CMake must be run to generate a build system for VTK. The build
system may be placed either in the VTK source tree (an
<i>in-source</i> build) or in a separate binary tree (an
<i>out-of-source</i> build). We strongly encourage use of
out-of-source builds because they make it easy to have multiple builds
with different configurations sharing the same source tree. Once a
single in-source build has been created it is the only build tree that
can be associated with that source tree. A source tree may not be
used both for an in-source build and an out-of-source build, but any
number of out-of-source builds may share a source tree that does not
have an in-source build. Having multiple out-of-source builds is
particularly useful for installing VTK on multiple architectures using
a single source tree on a shared disk.
<p>
CMake provides both a command-line tool and interactive interfaces.
Advanced users may wish to use the command-line tool but here we
document the CMake interactive interface for each platform:
<ul>
<li><b>Windows</b><br>
Run the CMakeSetup dialog to get started. It must be executed
from an environment configured to run the compiler to be used.
In the case of the Visual Studio IDE no special environment is
needed and CMakeSetup can be started from its icon. In the case
of a Visual Studio NMake, Borland C++, or MinGW build the
CMakeSetup dialog should be executed from a command prompt with
the appropriate environment set.
<p>
The dialog prompts for the location of the source and binary
trees. There may also be prompt for the build system generator
to be used ("Build For:"). Once these are set then CMake is
ready for a first pass at configuring the VTK build system. Use
the "Configure" button to initiate this process. If there was
no earlier prompt for the build system generator a separate
dialog will appear during the first configuration step to prompt
for generator selection. After a while the dialog will present
a set of configuration options.
See <a href="#Configuration">below</a> for details on the meaning of
each of these options. After setting the options as desired
press "Configure" again to make another pass at configuring VTK.
New options may appear when earlier options are adjusted. Keep
adjusting options and pressing "Configure" until the desired
configuration is reached. Finally press the "Generate" button
to actually generate the build system.
<p>
Now that the build system has been generated the corresponding
native tools can be used to build VTK. In the case of the
Visual Studio IDE simply run it and load the VTK workspace or
solution file from the binary tree specified in the CMakeSetup
dialog. Select and build the <code>ALL_BUILD</code> target. In
the case of a Visual Studio NMake, Borland C++, or MinGW build
use the corresponding make tool (<code>nmake</code>,
<code>make</code>, and <code>make</code>, respectively) from the
command line.
<li><b>UNIX / Cygwin / Mac OSX</b><br>
CMake should be run from the command line on these platforms.
The current working directory should be set to the desired
binary tree location in which the build system should be
generated. One command-line argument is used to specify the
location of the source tree. CMake will usually choose the
system C and C++ compilers automatically but it can be told to
use specific compilers through the "<code>CC</code>" and
"<code>CXX</code>" environment variables.
<p>
A typical in-source build for VTK might look like this:
<blockquote>
<code>
$ ls -d VTK<br>
VTK/<br>
$ cd VTK<br>
$ ccmake .<br>
$ make<br>
</code>
</blockquote>
A typical out-of-source build for VTK might look like this:
<blockquote>
<code>
$ ls -d VTK<br>
VTK/<br>
$ mkdir VTK-build<br>
$ cd VTK-build<br>
$ ccmake ../VTK<br>
$ make<br>
</code>
</blockquote>
In the above examples the call to <code>ccmake</code> may be
replaced by
<blockquote>
<code>
$ env CC=/your/c/compiler CXX=/your/C++/compiler ccmake /path/to/VTK<br>
</code>
</blockquote>
in order to tell CMake to use specific C and C++ compilers.
Setting the environment in this way will only change the
compilers the <i>first</i> time CMake is run for a specific
build tree. Do not attempt to change the compiler of an
existing build tree. Instead one should create a separate build
tree for each desired compiler.
<p>
The <code>ccmake</code> tool is a curses-based dialog that may
be used to interactively configure VTK. When it appears press
'c' on the keyboard to run the initial configuration of the VTK
build system. Eventually a set of configuration options will
appear. These may be edited using the arrow-keys and the ENTER
key for navigation. See <a href="#Configuration">below</a> for
details on the meaning of each of these options.
<p>
Once the options have been set as desired press 'c' again to
reconfigure. New options may appear when earlier options are
adjusted. Keep adjusting options and pressing 'c' until the
desired configuration is reached. Finally press 'g' to actually
generate the build system. Now that the build system has been
generated just run <code>make</code> or <code>gmake</code> to
build VTK.
<p>
NOTE: The <code>ccmake</code> curses dialog is the most commonly
used interactive interface for CMake on UNIX-like platforms, so
these instructions assume it is available. Some system
administrators may not have installed curses in which case
<code>ccmake</code> will not be available. On these platforms
one may use the command "<code>cmake -i</code>" in place of
<code>ccmake</code> and follow the on-screen instructions to
configure VTK. A last resort is to use the command-line
interface to <code>cmake</code>, but that is beyond the scope of
this document. See CMake documentation for further details.
</ul>
<h2><a name="Configuration">Configuration Options in CMake</h2>
VTK is a large toolkit providing a wide variety of functionality.
Several configuration options are available to customize the VTK build
system. These options are configured through an interactive CMake
interface as described <a href="#Building">above</a>. Note that not
all options are available on all platforms, and some options are
available only when other options are set to a particular value.
<p>
The interactive CMake interface provides brief documentation for every
option. Some options have more meaning than can be described in one
sentence, so additional documentation is provided here:
<p>
<ul>
<li><b>BUILD_SHARED_LIBS</b><br>
<p>
Sets whether the compiled VTK libraries will be shared libraries
or static libraries. When linking executables against static
libraries the needed symbols will be copied from the libraries
into the executables enabling them to run without access to the
original libraries. When linking executables against shared
libraries references to the symbols are placed into the
executables. This has the advantage that many executables can
share a large library without producing many copies of its code.
</p>
<p>
Shared libraries have the disadvantage that they must be found at
runtime in order for an executable to run. Each operating system
supporting shared libraries has a component known as the
<i>dynamic loader</i>. This component is responsible for finding
the shared libraries needed by an executable when it is run. In
order to run VTK executables from the build tree when using shared
libraries one may need to help the dynamic loader find the
libraries (usually the bin subdirectory of the build tree).
</p>
<p>
On Windows, the dynamic loader will look for shared libraries in
the directory containing the executable, in directories listed in
the PATH environment variable, and in some system directories.
Since VTK places all of its executables and libraries in the same
directory nothing needs to be set to get them to run. However,
when one builds outside projects against VTK the PATH environment
variable must be set to point at the directory containing the VTK
shared libraries.
</p>
<p>
On UNIX-style platforms, the dynamic loader will use an
environment variable such as LD_LIBRARY_PATH (Linux and many UNIX
systems) or DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH (Mac OSX) to look for shared
libraries. In order to run VTK executables from the build tree
one must set the appropriate environment variable to point at the
directory containing the VTK shared libraries (unless
VTK_USE_RPATH is ON, see below). The same environment setting
must be used for running outside projects build against the shared
VTK libraries.
</p>
</li>
<li><b>VTK_USE_RPATH</b><br>
<p>
This option is available on non-Windows platforms when the
BUILD_SHARED_LIBS option is set to ON. It enables/disables the
use of the <i>rpath</i> (runtime-path) feature available on most
UNIX-style platforms. If this option is enabled VTK libraries and
executables will be linked with an rpath pointing at the location
in the build tree containing them (usually the bin subdirectory).
This allows them to run from the build tree without setting any
environment variables to help the dynamic loader find the needed
shared libraries.
</p>
<p>
Warning: enabling VTK_USE_RPATH <b>DISABLES THE INSTALL TARGET</b>
so that the build cannot be used to install VTK! This is
necessary because the installed executables and libraries would
contain references back to the build tree. Running them would
load libraries from the build tree, which may have been updated or
built with an incompatible configuration since the last
installation. VTK release versions set this option to OFF by
default so that it is easy to build and install VTK from a source
distribution. VTK development versions set this option to ON by
default so that dashboard builds and developers (which typically
have many VTK build trees) can run without setting any environment
variables for the dynamic loader.
</p>
</li>
<li><b>VTK_WRAP_TCL</b><br>
<p>
Enable/Disable automatic generation of VTK bindings in the Tcl
language. In order to build the Tcl-based VTK interpreter one
will need to have Tcl and Tk version 8.2 or newer. Look to
<a href="http://www.tcl.tk">http://www.tcl.tk</a>
for information about getting Tcl and Tk. To turn on Tcl wrapping,
set VTK_WRAP_TCL to ON during the configuration process. One may
then have to set the values for Tcl/Tk include directories and
libraries during the next CMake configure iteration. If there is
more than one version of Tcl installed on the computer, make sure
all the TCL_* and TK_* configuration options are set consistently
to use the proper version. This is especially important when
Cygwin is installed because the Cygwin Tcl will not work for a
native Windows VTK build and a Windows Tcl will not work for a
Cygwin VTK build. When building the Tcl/Tk wrappers on Cygwin one
must also install the Cygwin sources for Tcl/Tk and set
TK_XLIB_PATH to "/usr/src/tcltk-20030901-1/tk/xlib" or the
corresponding directory for one's Cygwin Tcl version. See
<a href="Wrapping/Tcl/README">Wrapping/Tcl/README</a>
for details on using the Tcl wrappers once they are built.
</p>
</li>
<li><b>VTK_WRAP_PYTHON</b><br>
<p>
Enable/Disable automatic generation of VTK bindings in the Python
language. In order to build the Python-based VTK interpreter one
will need to have Python installed. Look to
<a href="http://www.python.org">http://www.python.org</a>
for information about getting Python. To turn on Python wrapping,
set VTK_WRAP_PYTHON and BUILD_SHARED_LIBS to ON during the
configuration process. One may then have to set the values for
Python include directories and libraries during the next CMake
configure iteration. If there is more than one version of Python
installed on the computer, make sure all the PYTHON_*
configuration options are set consistently to use the proper
version. This is especially important when Cygwin is installed
because the Cygwin Python will not work for a native Windows VTK
build and a Windows Python will not work for a Cygwin VTK build.
In order to use Tkinter with VTK-Python make sure that the Tcl/Tk
libraries that are set correspond to the same version used by
Tkinter.
</p>
<p>
Note that the VTK-Python modules are now installed by default via
'make install', which is a change from previous VTK versions. The
automatic python module installation is highly configurable. The
<a href="Wrapping/Python/README.txt">Wrapping/Python/README.txt</a>
file documents the installation procedure and the VTK-Python
modules.
</p>
</li>
<li><b>CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX</b><br>
<p>
When VTK is <a href="#Installation">installed</a> all files are
placed in a directory structure rooted at the directory specified
by CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX.
</p>
</li>
</ul>
<HR>
<h1><A NAME="Installation">Installation</h1>
Installing VTK from a source distribution requires first that it be
compiled in a build tree. See the <a
href="#Compilation">compilation</a> section above for details. Once
VTK has been compiled in a build tree one may build the <i>install</i>
target to actually put VTK in an installation tree. If VTK was built
using a CMake Makefile generator then this is done by running "make
install" from the top of the build tree. If VTK was built using a
CMake project file generator (such as Visual Studio), then building
the INSTALL project from inside the IDE will install VTK. The
installation process will install all files in a directory structure
rooted at the directory specified by CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX.
</div>
<HR>
<h1><A NAME="Problems">Common Problems</h1>
<ul>
<li>Strange compile errors on UNIX, typically involving system
headers and types. Make sure that you specify the environment
variables CC and CXX prior to running CMake. If you have
already run CMake you must create a fresh build-tree and start
again. If you ran CMake in the source tree then you must delete
the source tree, re-extract the sources, and start again.
<li>Errors on Tcl or Tk include files or libraries. Make sure that
you set the TCL_* and TK_* configuration variables to the
correct location when running CMake.
<li>Link errors on Windows platforms. Make sure that the swap space is
at least 300 MByte.
<li>Link error with borland: TCL82.LIB contains invalid OMF record,
type 0x21 (possibly COFF). You have to convert Tcl libraires
from coff to omf with the Borland utilitiy coff2omf. Once you
have created OMF versions, re-run cmake to tell it where the Borland
versions of Tcl and Tk are located. Also, make sure that you are using
Tcl/Tk 8.3.2.
</ul>
<HR>
<h1><A NAME="Data">Getting Data and Test Images</h1>
Many of the examples require data. There are two ways to get data. The
first is to download the file VTKData.tgz. The second is to access the
data via CVS checkout. The CVS checkout also includes many test images
used by the testing process (see <A href="http://public.kitware.com/dashboard.php">http://public.kitware.com/dashboard.php</A>).
These can be used if you wish to test VTK or submit testing dashboards.
The VTKData.tgz contains only data in compressed form is therefore can
be obtained much faster.
<pre>
1) Download the data at ftp://public.kitware.com/pub/vtk/VTKData.tgz
2) Checkout the data from CVS using the folling commands:
cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@www.vtk.org:/cvsroot/VTK login
(there is no password...just press enter)
cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@www.vtk.org:/cvsroot/VTK checkout VTKData
</pre>
<HR>
<h1><A NAME="Running">Running VTK</h1>
Many C++ examples will be compiled if BUILD_TESTING and/or
BUILD_EXAMPLES are enabled in CMake. To run these C++ examples just
type their name. (They will be found in the binary build directory.)
If you have built shared libraries, make sure the PATH environment
variable (Windows) or the LD_LIBRARY_PATH (Unix) point to the shared
libraries (see above documentation of the BUILD_SHARED_LIBS for
details).
If you have enabled Tcl wrapping, you will want to set TCLLIBPATH to point to
the VTK/Wrapping/Tcl directory and check the instructions located in the <A
href="Wrapping/Tcl/README">Wrapping/Tcl/README</A> file. You will then run
the VTK executable found in the bin directory where the code was
compiled. Assuming that the executable VTK is in your path, or has been
aliased, you would type:
<pre>
vtk mace.tcl
</pre>
Note that most Tcl scripts allow you to type "u" in the render window to
obtain an interpreter. You can use the interpreter to modify the application
at run-time.
<P>
If you have enabled Python Wrapping you should read the instructions
located in the <A
href="Wrapping/Python/README.txt">Wrapping/Python/README.txt</A> file.
</P>
<HR>
<h1><A NAME="NewClass">Writing Your Own Class</h1> There are several ways to
extend VTK. The simplest way is, in your own code, create classes that
inherit from the appropriate VTK classes. Please see the
<a href="Examples/Build/vtkLocal/README"><code>vtkLocal</code></a> example
for instructions to build your classes outside VTK.
