[vtkusers] Viewing an arbitrary .vtk

[Jamie Vicary]

Dear all,

   I have a program which will need to create diverse kinds of output, 
and I would like to exploit the .vtk file format's flexibility to 
represent this data. The output will consist of two- or 
three-dimensional volumes, either structured or unstructured, with 
possibly boolean, integer or floating point values at each coordinate.

   I am having trouble finding a lightweight and flexible "vtk viewer" 
with which I can - preferably in an automatated (ie scriptable) fashion 
- render my output. I will want to be able to update the rendered image 
on-the-fly as updated data files become available, and will want to be 
able to produce lightweight .jpg (or similar) "snapshots" of my output.

   Does there exist anything that will do what I want?

       Many thanks,

          Jamie Vicary
