Rapid prototyping
Inviwo provides a rich visual interface for the easy creation of custom visualizations. These visualizations can be saved, modified, and reused on other data.
Inviwo is a software framework for the rapid prototyping of visualizations. It is written in C++, exploits modern graphics hardware, and is available under the BSD license, which permits free use in any setup - also commercially
Inviwo provides a rich visual interface for the easy creation of custom visualizations. These visualizations can be saved, modified, and reused on other data.
Besides being realized in C++, Inviwo exposes a Python 3.7 API, supports Python development, and has Python scripting integrated for batch processing.
Inviwo can be extended by implementing own Processors, which can be organized in modules. See our tutorials on creating processors and modules.
Inviwo can read and visualize many data types, such as HD5, DICOM, RAW and TIFF stacks. So you can visualize data from many simulations and imaging modalities.
To get started with Inviwo, we provide guides on how to install, develop new processors, and create new modules. We are currently working on video tutorials.
Inviwo is used and maintained by researchers at many international universities, core development takes place at Linköping U, Ulm U, and Karolinska U. For help and general discussion join us on our Slack server.
Inviwo provides many visualization methods for a range of data types such as triangular meshes, images, volumes, vector fields and multidimensional arrays.
Either download the latest application binaries or checkout/download the source code and extend Inviwo with the functionality you are missing, such as processors, readers/writers etc etc.
