  Description     : Visualization Toolkit (VTK) version 7

Long-Description:
 The Visualization Toolkit (VTK) is an open-source, freely available
 software system for 3D computer graphics, image processing and
 visualization.
 .
 VTK consists of a C++ class library and several interpreted interface
 layers including Tcl/Tk, Java, and Python. Kitware, whose team created
 and continues to extend the toolkit, offers professional support and
 consulting services for VTK. VTK supports a wide variety of
 visualization algorithms including: scalar, vector, tensor, texture,
 and volumetric methods; and advanced modeling techniques such as:
 implicit modeling, polygon reduction, mesh smoothing, cutting,
 contouring, and Delaunay triangulation. VTK has an extensive
 information visualization framework, has a suite of 3D interaction
 widgets, supports parallel processing, and integrates with various
 databases on GUI toolkits such as Qt and Tk.
 .
 VTK is cross-platform and runs on Linux, Windows, Mac and Unix
 platforms.

The package will be maintained in Debian Science Team.
