  1. Hi! I looking for a comprehensive frame work for DTI data. Eventually I’ll need interactive 3D volumes of tracts (zoom in/out and selection), and some connected views to it (scatter plot, parallel coordinates). I haven’t decided about the platform yet. I have some experience in C++ and in python. Which of the available platforms would do the best for prototyping?
