Description
VTK is currently available only as a library against which compiled applications may link. Many users of VTK, however, use only Tcl (or Python) scripts, which are interpreted by Tcl (or Python) interpreters with all the VTK extensions compiled in. For example, all of the demonstrations that Kitware distributes with VTK are Tcl scripts, and some builds of VTK create an executable called "vtk" that is (I believe) the "wish" tcl/tk shell, with VTK extensions.
It would be nice to have this Tcl/Tk capability available with the MacPorts VTK.
(sorry- I can't tell from browsing the source tree on the wiki how to identify the specific version of vtk being distributed; I know its some vtk version 4, as opposed to version 5)
