3D Visualization Toolkit (VTK) Routines
ISOSURF, data, valu, vert, poly
Standard Library procedure that computes, and optionally displays, an isosurface of the specified 3D data.
vtkADDATTRIBUTE, attributes
Collects point attributes for VTK datasets.
Creates a set of axes.
Creates a plot of 3D cylinders.
Changes the camera’s parameters.
Adds a color bar legend to a VTK scene using the current PV-WAVE color table.
Closes the VTK process.
vtkCOMMAND, command
Sends Tcl and VTK commands to the Tcl process.
vtkERASE [, background_color]
Erases the contents of the current VTK window.
vtkGETNAMES([windx, /Lights, /Camera, /Actors, /All])
Returns the names of all Lights, Cameras and Actors in a renderer.
vtkGRID [, Number=n]
Adds 3D grid lines to a VTK scene.
vtkHEDGEHOG, points, vectors, scalars

Returns the contents of a VTK window as a bitmapped image.
vtkUNSTRUCTUREDGRID, Points, Cells, Cell_types
Passes data describing an unstructured grid to VTK.
vtkWDELETE [, window_index]
Closes a VTK window, however it does not shut down the Tcl process.
vtkWINDOW [, window_index]
Creates a VTK window.
vtkWRITEVRML, filename [, WindowID=id, Speed=s]
