| − | Description:
| |
| − | * The Fat line displays the pipeline flow.
| |
| − | * Green colored fields are classes from the Slicer3 or vtk implementation
| |
| − | * Red colored fields are CUDA and hardware specific parts
| |
| − | * Blue colored fields are specially implemented parts for the communication of cuda and vtk and the volume rendering algorithms.
