The vtk-grass-bridge is a C++ library and must be compiled. I did not test the compilation on Windows or Mac, but it should work ..... in theory. The library depends on VTK[1], cmake[2] and of course on GRASS GIS 7. A detailed compilation guide is available here: http://code.google.com/p/vtk-grass-bridge/wiki/HowToCompile Once compiled, the C++ classes can be used together with VTK classes in GRASS GIS Python modules. Hence, all the shiny data processing algorithms available in ParaView can be used directly with GRASS GIS raster, vector and raster3d. Have a look at the Python examples[3, 4, 5, 6]. Since these modules are regular GRASS "programs" they must be executed in a grass7 shell.
