Visualization Toolkit - A high level 3D visualization library - runtime

 The Visualization Toolkit (VTK) is an object oriented, high level
 library that allows one to easily write C++ programs, Tcl, Python and
 Java scripts that do 3D visualization.
 .
 VTK enables users to concentrate on their work by providing a large
 number of excellent and feature packed high level functions that do
 visualization. The library needs OpenGL to render the graphics and
 for Linux machines Mesa is necessary. The terms/copyright can be read
 in /usr/share/doc/vtk/README and README.html. VTK-Linux-HOWTO has
 information about using vtk, getting documentataion or help and
 instructions on building VTK.
 .
 This package provides the shared libraries needed to run C++ programs
 that use VTK.
 .
 To compile C++ code that uses VTK you have to install libvtk5-dev.
