Visual Tool Kit .VTK File Description

Grapher can import Visualization Tool Kit .VTK data sets. This implementation is based on version 4.2 of the VTK File Format documentation from Kitware.

VTK data sets can contain several types of lattice data and/or geometric figures. The content of VTK files can be in ASCII text format or a mixed binary/ASCII format in which headers and parameters are in ASCII format but the data values are in binary format.

Format(s) Supported for Import

  • 3D uniform lattice; 8-, 16-, 32-bit integer, float, double
  • point set; double

Format(s) Supported for Export

3D uniform lattice; 8-, 16-, 32-bit integer, float, double

Import Options

No import options dialog is displayed.

Import Restrictions/Limitations

The implementation of the software does not directly support geometric figures in VTK data sets. Geometric figures are currently imported as Grapher point sets, with one point at each vertex in the geometric model.

Import Automation Options

No import options are available.

Export Options

Grapher does not export VTK files.
