Modules#
VTK library is a dynamic C++ toolkit built around the concept of “modules”. Each module may have dependencies to other VTK module or external libraries.
Foundational dependencies have been wrapped into convenient “module”.
Enabling or Disabling Modules#
To enable a module set
cmake -DVTK_MODULE_ENABLE_<module name>=WANT ...
during the configuration stage.
Disabling a module can be done as follows:
cmake -DVTK_MODULE_ENABLE_<module name>=DONT_WANT ...
Enabling a module may cause more to be enabled due to dependencies. For more details about the module infrastructure in VTK see the Module System section.
