Planned Schedule
- Preparation email: January 19, 2008
- Create VTK-5-4 branch: beginning of February, 2009
- Release VTK 5.4.0: as soon after branching as practical according to the dashboards
What's New in VTK 5.4?
New features in VTK since the 5.2 release include:
- Geovis kit
- Tree ring / icicle tree views
- Updated Utilities: freetype (now at 2.3.7)
- More than XX new C++ classes.
- More than YY new C++ tests running on most dashboards
API Changes
API to vtkTreeMapView, vtkTreeMapLayout, and vtkTreeMapLayoutStrategy (new in VTK 5.2) have changed slightly as they have been integrated into a larger concept of "area views" (where elements are mapped to 2D areas on the screen). Some methods previously containing the term "Vertex" now contain the term "Area". For consistency with other algorithms, methods that specify the input or output arrays of an algorithm have been changed from "Set...Field" to "Set...ArrayName".
OpenGL requirements
Same as VTK 5.2: See this section in the Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
