NetVtk

C# bindings for the Visualization Toolkit (VTK) 9.7.1, generated from VTK's headers: VTK's class names, its pipelines as in C++, and IntelliSense shows VTK's documentation.

dotnet add package NetVtk

One AnyCPU package for .NET Framework 3.5 and 4.5+, .NET 6, 8 and 10, and netstandard2.0, with the natives for Windows (x64, x86), Linux (x64) and macOS (arm64).

using Vtk;

using var cone = new vtkConeSource();
cone.SetResolution(32);
cone.Update();
using var output = cone.GetOutput();
double[] bounds = output.GetBounds();
  • Objects: new vtkConeSource() calls VTK's New(). A proxy holds one reference to its object; Dispose (or the garbage collector) releases it. Rendering objects release OpenGL resources when they go: dispose them on the thread that renders, or set VtkFinalizer.Context to its SynchronizationContext.
  • Arrays: vtkDoubleArray.FromArray(values, 3), ToArray(), CopyFrom(values); on .NET 6+ AsSpan() is the array's memory, no copy. ToDoubleArray() converts any vtkDataArray.
  • Observers: AddObserver(vtkCommand_EventIds.ModifiedEvent, (sender, e) => ...), Observe(...) until disposed, or the events ModifiedEvent, ErrorEvent, WarningEvent and an algorithm's StartEvent, ProgressEvent, EndEvent. A subclass of vtkCommand works too. An exception a handler throws comes out of the call that triggered the event, as the InnerException of a VtkException.
  • Messages: VtkOutput.Message += (_, e) => ... receives VTK's errors and warnings, which VTK would otherwise show in a window of its own (Windows) or on the console.
  • Native interop: NativePointer is the vtkObjectBase*; vtkObjectBase.FromNativePointer<T>(pointer) makes a proxy for one. The SWIG interface files are in the package's swig/ folder.

Documentation

  • Guide: pipelines, data, results, rendering and hosting, observers; every example compiles against the package in CI.
  • From C++ to C#: how VTK's signatures look in C#, so VTK's own documentation and examples apply.
  • Class index: every type, linked to VTK's reference.
  • Source and demos, changes.

License

NetVtk is MIT licensed. The IntelliSense documentation holds the doc comments of VTK's headers, and the runtime packages hold VTK's libraries and those it builds in: VTK is BSD-3-Clause. NOTICE, VTK-LICENSE.txt and each runtime package's THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.txt have the details.

### Added

- NetVtk: C# bindings for VTK 9.7.1, generated from VTK's headers: 25 modules (data model, execution model, core, general, geometry, modeling and source filters, legacy, XML and Exodus II readers and writers, a CGNS reader, OpenGL rendering, volume rendering, annotation, interaction), VTK's names in the namespace Vtk, natives for win-x64, win-x86, linux-x64 and osx-arm64, .NET Framework 3.5+, .NET 6+ and netstandard2.0. Typed arrays copy in bulk (FromArray, ToArray, CopyFrom, AsSpan); C# handlers and events observe VTK's events; VtkOutput takes VTK's messages; native pointers in both directions; VTK's documentation comments in IntelliSense; the SWIG interface files ship in swig/, with NetVtkInterop.i for other SWIG bindings.
