[vtk-developers] [vtkusers] VTK Wiki Examples Update: Images now available

[Marcus D. Hanwell]

That is awesome, this makes the wiki pages so much clearer and more visual 
(seems very fitting for the visualization toolkit). Very pleased to see those 
images up there, this is a great body of work and I will try harder to keep 
the chart stuff up to date.

Thanks for all the work you and others have put into the wiki examples, it is 
a compelling project that makes VTK much more accessible.
