SMOOTH IN PARAVIEW UPDATE

SMOOTH IN PARAVIEW UPDATE

Starting from the sink, the update requests are handed on to the previous elements in the pipeline until the necessary source data is available the newly computed data travels then downstream through the pipeline until the requesting sink is reached. Lazy evaluation: Only if a data sink requests an update, the data in the pipeline is recomputed. In VTK, every processing step is represented by a self-contained object which takes its input from the previous element in the pipeline and passes its output to the next one.The program sequence results from the desired data flow, so the user does not have to worry about the program logic - if there are several parallel data pipelines, then the processing is automatically parallelized (similar to a Unix shell script or a LabView program).The basic concept is a user-defined pipeline which passes the data from the source (= the input file) to the sink (= image on the screen or output file) through several filters.

Since Paraview implements a client-server architecture around the VTK modules, not all VTK functions is supported.īoth programs are developed by Kitware Inc. Paraview is a graphical user interface based on VTK, hence, data can be processed without writing code.The library is written in C++, but there are bindings available for some other languages, especially the scripting languages Tcl and Python. The graphical output is hardware-accelerated by using the OpenGL library. VTK is a object-oriented high-level library for data processing and visualization, providing sophisticated functions like contouring, cutting, triangulation and mesh smoothing.
