+The Visualization Toolkit (VTK) is an open source, freely available
+software system for 3D computer graphics, modeling, image processing,
+volume rendering, scientific visualization and information
+visualization. VTK also includes ancillary support for 3D interaction
+widgets, two and three-dimensional annotation, and parallel
+computing. At its core VTK is implemented as a C++ toolkit, requiring
+users to build applications by combining various objects into an
+application. The system also supports automated wrapping of the C++
+core into Python, Java and Tcl, so that VTK applications may also be
+written using these interpreted programming languages.
+
+VTK provides several language bindings. You may need to modify related
+cmake options. Only Qt binding is enabled by default.
