while The VTK Textbook stresses algorithmic and data structure
details, the VTK User's Guide stresses how to use the software.


The Eleventh Edition features a new chapter detailing VTK's information
visualization functionality, including the table, graph, and tree data
structures
required to represent non-spatial data; enhanced details on 2D and
3D widgets and other forms of user interaction required to create an
exploratory visualization application; a new chapter on geospatial visualization
for geographically organized data; additional details on time dependent and
composite data; and a discussion of advanced rendering techniques, including
depth peeling for transparency.


As always, the VTK User’s Guide includes:

•       A description of the structured and unstructured data types
supported by VTK.
•       Details on the pipeline architecture model.

•       Many examples showing the use of various scalar
        and vector visualization and data processing algorithms.

•       Information on how to write your own algorithms in VTK,
        including details on the VTK coding style.
