How is this new book different than the old one? I am trying to
decide if it is worth buying, given that I already have the previous
edition.<br><br>
On a related note, when will there be updated VTK books that take into
account VTK-5?<br><br>

Hi Arash,<br><br>
The entire book has been updated for the 2.4 version of ParaView.
(ParaView 1.8 was released in December 2004; ParaView 2.4 was first
released in November 2005.) Several chapters have been mostly
rewritten (instead of just revised) because of changes in the use of
ParaView or in the underlying architecture. These include the
following.<br><br>
Animation<br>
Introduction to Parallel Computing and Visualization<br>
Parallel ParaView<br>
Writing ParaView Readers<br>
Render Modules<br><br>
As for the VTK books, they are currently being updated for VTK
5.0.<br><br>
