基于Anaconda安裝Python3.6版本的VTK7.1.0:

conda install -c clinicalgraphics vtk=7.1.0

基于ROS-Kinetic-Desktop-Full的VTK6.2
只需要完整安裝了ros-kinetic，那么就會(huì)自動(dòng)安裝好VTK6.2版本的.

一條命令就安裝好了VTK的Python開發(fā)環(huán)境.
現(xiàn)在，我們來(lái)通過(guò)VTK版本的hello world實(shí)例來(lái)測(cè)試是否安裝成功.
vtk_01.py

import vtk
# The colors module defines various useful colors.
from vtk.util.colors import tomato

# This creates a polygonal cylinder model with eight circumferential
# facets.
cylinder = vtk.vtkCylinderSource()
cylinder.SetResolution(8)

# The mapper is responsible for pushing the geometry into the graphics
# library. It may also do color mapping, if scalars or other
# attributes are defined.
cylinderMapper = vtk.vtkPolyDataMapper()
cylinderMapper.SetInputConnection(cylinder.GetOutputPort())

# The actor is a grouping mechanism: besides the geometry (mapper), it
# also has a property, transformation matrix, and/or texture map.
# Here we set its color and rotate it -22.5 degrees.
cylinderActor = vtk.vtkActor()
cylinderActor.SetMapper(cylinderMapper)
cylinderActor.GetProperty().SetColor(tomato)
cylinderActor.RotateX(30.0)
cylinderActor.RotateY(-45.0)

# Create the graphics structure. The renderer renders into the render
# window. The render window interactor captures mouse events and will
# perform appropriate camera or actor manipulation depending on the
# nature of the events.
ren = vtk.vtkRenderer()
renWin = vtk.vtkRenderWindow()
renWin.AddRenderer(ren)
iren = vtk.vtkRenderWindowInteractor()
iren.SetRenderWindow(renWin)

# Add the actors to the renderer, set the background and size
ren.AddActor(cylinderActor)
ren.SetBackground(0.1, 0.2, 0.4)
renWin.SetSize(200, 200)

# This allows the interactor to initalize itself. It has to be
# called before an event loop.
iren.Initialize()

# We'll zoom in a little by accessing the camera and invoking a "Zoom"
# method on it.
ren.ResetCamera()
ren.GetActiveCamera().Zoom(1.5)
renWin.Render()

# Start the event loop.
iren.Start()

運(yùn)行結(jié)果為：

可以看出旨巷，我們運(yùn)行成功了.

Python版本的實(shí)例運(yùn)行成功橄杨，現(xiàn)在我們來(lái)實(shí)現(xiàn)基于c++版本的.

接著編寫CMakeLists.txt文件
CMakeLists.txt

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8)

PROJECT(CylinderRenderingProperties)

find_package(VTK REQUIRED)
include(${VTK_USE_FILE})

add_executable(CylinderRenderingProperties main.cpp )

target_link_libraries(CylinderRenderingProperties ${VTK_LIBRARIES})

最終運(yùn)行的結(jié)果跟Python版本實(shí)現(xiàn)的是一樣的猜极，這里就不再截圖.
