[vtkusers] is VTK the right tool for my problem? (generating and visalisation of meshes)

[WolfgangZ]

Hello,

at the moment I'm using vtk to visualize some meshes that I use for 
finite element analysis. So far so good.

But now I have to do the following task: I have an image (will get more 
than one later) which shows some microstructure of a material. (I can 
bring this image to black and white to show the border between the two 
constituents). I need to vectorize this image and create mesh so that I 
can do finite element analysis of the microstructure. There some needs 
for mesh quality, but for the beginning a coarse mesh would also be 
acceptable.

Can I use VTK for that task or do I need to have a look for ITK? Any 
other suggestions?

Kind regards
Wolfgang

PS: I'm not a programming guru, till now I used the python wrapper for vtk.
