[vtkusers] Lightweight Visualisation (via VTK) Software

[Shakes]

Hi David,

I found Paraview and VTK daunting to use at first and certain things 
weren't obvious. DGV was designed as a first step program so that one 
could quickly check the data one produces without having to learn and/or 
understand VTK and/or Paraview.

I also needed quick 1D plots, their animations and transforms and to see 
raw image data. On a side note, the DGV API has a much more simple 
interface than VTK imo (i.e. wrapper around VTK), making VTK usage 
easier. For instance a Surface Plot is:

DGVSurfacePlotVTK *plot = new DGVSurfacePlotVTK;
     plot->setName(name);
     plot->setData(data);
     plot->generatePlot();
     plot->generateAxes();
     plot->show();

It will in future be designed with custom Discrete Tomography methods 
which are currently part of my PhD. Hope that answers some of your 
questions about DGV.

Cheers
Shakes
