[Insight-users] [insight-users] use of wrapITK in ParaView?

[Wen Shi]

I agree!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There are too much third party developed visualization or processing tools based on ITK and VTK!!!!!!
We really need a complete list to show them (The features and the benefits also what specific tasks they can achieve separately).
The main benefit of doing this is for the users, they don't need to read through so many documentations of different tools, just skim the list and choose one fit for their applications.
Thanks

Hi Charl! 

I really thank you for this great information. I'm gonna test this! 

Pierre 

PS: Hmm... It is quite easy to get lost with all the software making use of VTK / ITK between...

It would be nice to have a map of them in the ITK or VTK wiki, highlighting there main features, wouldn't it?

You could also try DeVIDE. :) It comes with VTK and ITK out of the 
box, it's all Python with introspection windows everywhere, and it 
installs on Windows and Linux without touching a compiler or a script 
of any kind. It's also BSD open source. The current stable release 
is 9.1 (with the built-in wrapitk Python wrappings), I'm currently 
busy working on 9.8 (this will have the new WrapITK 0.3.0), to be 
released in the next few days. (If Brad King can make gccxml magic 
happen on win32 that is... :) 

The website is at http://visualisation.tudelft.nl/Projects/DeVIDE 

You can read about the exciting new changes in 9.8 on the blog:

See you, 
Charl
