It looks like you have to be familiar with (and using) VTK (Visualization 
Toolkit) software
 "The Visualization ToolKit (VTK) is an open source, freely available 
software system for 3D computer graphics, image processing, and 
visualization used by thousands of researchers and developers around the 
world." (from the website)

In other words, its a VTK apllication.
