[vtkusers] Need Help

[M A Walkley]

Hi Davood,

I would start by looking at this document:

Simple visualizations of unstructured grids with VTK
Roman Putanowicz
Frederic Magoules

http://tinyurl.com/tnc7y

which is a good reference for using VTK with 
unstructured finite element data. It's not
100% up to date but the basic stuff still
works.


Regards,
Mark.
