[vtkusers] How can I visualize the data with "VTK" by calling a subroutines or something else directly in my fortran code ?

[Immo Trinks]

Check 
http://www.cray.com/craydoc/manuals/S-2378-50/html-S-2378-50/fixed0dlk7pll3.html
to see an example for Fortran to c/c++ calls.

You could as well use system calls and execute a separate vtk-program for the 
visualisation, which might be written in C++, Tcl, ...

CALL SYSTEM("vtkprogram") 

Hope this helps,
Immo
