I want to use VTK together with Python on a Windows system.
It seems that I cannot use the windows installer but "have to compile VTK from source code using CMake and a native build system". So far I have installed CMake.
But now I wonder how to proceed? It seems that I need MS Visual Studio to create the project files?!
But I don't have Visual Studio. So what can I do?
You can use VTK with python just installing pythonxy framework, it is just a python with many many libraries included VTK, ITK, Qt and many other, also it is very well documented, and also have many examples, all in python. I recommend it to you, I have worked a lot with it, and is very amazing.
Just make a try. All you have to do is in the installer wizard select among the tools, VTK, and it will be installed with vtk.
