When I create a cronjob with

Use the 'nobackup' option in VI:

Redesign of VTK

The next version of VTK will support OpenGL 2.0 and GPU Filters. The illustration below shows the new Rendering Pipeline of VTK.

ShaderDeviceAdapter.png

Streamline Visualization on the GPU

Lines are converted to Triangle Strips on the CPU. Then the Vertex Shader orients the triangle strips to face the camera. Finally the Fragment Shader colors the pixels based on the reflection equation on a cylinder. The resulting image can be textured with arrows, text, or numbers to convey additional information.

Streamlines with arrows

The Fragment Shader creates a triangle and orients it based on the value of a vertex attribute.

Note that the numbers are oriented correctly on the Vertex Shader. The text always faces the camera even during rotations.
