VTK（Visualization Toolkit）是一个开源的、跨平台的三维可视化开发库，用于处理和可视化三维数据。它提供了一系列算法和工具，用于创建、操作和渲染复杂的三维图形，并支持多种数据表示方式，包括点、线、面、体等。VTK提供了一套高效的算法，用于可视化医学图像、流体动力学模拟、地理信息系统等领域的数据。
1、VTK源码下载
源码下载地址：https://vtk.org/download/
将VTK-9.3.1.tar.gz ，VTKData-9.3.1.tar.gz，VTKLargeData-9.3.1.tar.gz解压到同一目录，并创建build和SDK文件夹。
2、CMake设置
打开CMake-gui进行设置：
开启支持Qt编译；电脑上会自动找到对应的Qt路径（Qt已经在电脑环境变量添加过路径）。
点击“config”按钮，没有错误提示后点击“Generate”按钮，最后点击“open project”按钮打开VS工程。
3、VS编译
点击Open project 按钮打开VS项目工程，然后先选择 ALL_BUILD进行生成，随后选择INSTALL进行sdk整理。
编译后的VTK sdk如下所示：
4、示例demo
编译完成后我们来验证一下VTK编译的是否正确可用。此处可以参考VTK提供的示例代码。我们用了Qt+VTK来进行验证。https://examples.vtk.org/site/。

4.3 项目属性设定
如果不想麻烦去一个个*.lib匹配，可以粗暴一些把所有lib文件都放进依赖项，具体操作：
cmd 进入lib文件夹，输入下面命令：dir /b *.lib>out.txt 即可快速生成包含所有lib的txt文件。
