VTK-m
VTK-m is a toolkit of scientific visualization algorithms for emerging processor architectures. VTK-m supports the fine-grained concurrency for data analysis and visualization algorithms required to drive extreme scale computing by providing abstract models for data and execution that can be applied to a variety of algorithms across many different processor architectures.
You can find out more about the design of VTK-m on the VTK-m Wiki.

- OpenGL Rendering
- The rendering module contains multiple rendering implementations including standalone rendering code. The rendering module also includes (optionally built) OpenGL rendering classes.
- The OpenGL rendering classes require that you have a extension binding library and one rendering library. A windowing library is not needed except for some optional tests.

Building
VTK-m supports all majors platforms (Windows, Linux, OSX), and uses CMake to generate all the build rules for the project. The VTK-m source code is available from the VTK-m download page or by directly cloning the VTK-m git repository.
The basic procedure for building VTK-m is to unpack the source, create a build directory, run CMake in that build directory (pointing to the source) and then build. Here are some example *nix commands for the process (individual commands may vary).
$ tar xvzf ~/Downloads/vtk-m-v2.0.0.tar.gz
$ mkdir vtkm-build
$ cd vtkm-build
$ cmake-gui ../vtk-m-v2.0.0
$ cmake --build -j . # Runs make (or other build program)
A more detailed description of building VTK-m is available in the VTK-m Users Guide.
Example
The VTK-m source distribution includes a number of examples. The goal of the VTK-m examples is to illustrate specific VTK-m concepts in a consistent and simple format. However, these examples only cover a small portion of the capabilities of VTK-m.
Below is a simple example of using VTK-m to create a simple data set and use VTK-m's rendering engine to render an image and write that image to a file. It then computes an isosurface on the input data set and renders this output data set in a separate image file:
#include <vtkm/cont/Initialize.h>
#include <vtkm/source/Tangle.h>
#include <vtkm/rendering/Actor.h>
#include <vtkm/rendering/CanvasRayTracer.h>
#include <vtkm/rendering/MapperRayTracer.h>
#include <vtkm/rendering/MapperVolume.h>
#include <vtkm/rendering/MapperWireframer.h>
#include <vtkm/rendering/Scene.h>
#include <vtkm/rendering/View3D.h>
#include <vtkm/filter/contour/Contour.h>
using vtkm::rendering::CanvasRayTracer;
using vtkm::rendering::MapperRayTracer;
using vtkm::rendering::MapperVolume;
using vtkm::rendering::MapperWireframer;
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
vtkm::cont::Initialize(argc, argv, vtkm::cont::InitializeOptions::Strict);
auto tangle = vtkm::source::Tangle(vtkm::Id3{ 50, 50, 50 });
vtkm::cont::DataSet tangleData = tangle.Execute();
std::string fieldName = "tangle";
// Set up a camera for rendering the input data
vtkm::rendering::Camera camera;
camera.SetLookAt(vtkm::Vec3f_32(0.5, 0.5, 0.5));
camera.SetViewUp(vtkm::make_Vec(0.f, 1.f, 0.f));
camera.SetClippingRange(1.f, 10.f);
camera.SetFieldOfView(60.f);
camera.SetPosition(vtkm::Vec3f_32(1.5, 1.5, 1.5));
vtkm::cont::ColorTable colorTable("inferno");
// Background color:
vtkm::rendering::Color bg(0.2f, 0.2f, 0.2f, 1.0f);
vtkm::rendering::Actor actor(tangleData.GetCellSet(),
tangleData.GetCoordinateSystem(),
tangleData.GetField(fieldName),
colorTable);
vtkm::rendering::Scene scene;
scene.AddActor(actor);
// 2048x2048 pixels in the canvas:
CanvasRayTracer canvas(2048, 2048);
// Create a view and use it to render the input data using OS Mesa
vtkm::rendering::View3D view(scene, MapperVolume(), canvas, camera, bg);
view.Paint();
view.SaveAs("volume.png");
// Compute an isosurface:
vtkm::filter::contour::Contour filter;
// [min, max] of the tangle field is [-0.887, 24.46]:
filter.SetIsoValue(3.0);
filter.SetActiveField(fieldName);
vtkm::cont::DataSet isoData = filter.Execute(tangleData);
// Render a separate image with the output isosurface
vtkm::rendering::Actor isoActor(
isoData.GetCellSet(), isoData.GetCoordinateSystem(), isoData.GetField(fieldName), colorTable);
// By default, the actor will automatically scale the scalar range of the color table to match
// that of the data. However, we are coloring by the scalar that we just extracted a contour
// from, so we want the scalar range to match that of the previous image.
isoActor.SetScalarRange(actor.GetScalarRange());
vtkm::rendering::Scene isoScene;
isoScene.AddActor(isoActor);
// Wireframe surface:
vtkm::rendering::View3D isoView(isoScene, MapperWireframer(), canvas, camera, bg);
isoView.Paint();
isoView.SaveAs("isosurface_wireframer.png");
// Smooth surface:
vtkm::rendering::View3D solidView(isoScene, MapperRayTracer(), canvas, camera, bg);
solidView.Paint();
solidView.SaveAs("isosurface_raytracer.png");
return 0;
}
