Well, try visiting Sebastien's excellent links page and look at some
of the related links http://www.barre.nom.fr/vtk/links-examples.html.
A long while back I found that the examples at the foll. site were
very useful:

    http://www.rug.nl/hpc/VTK/vtk/man.html

But right now I find that I get the best help with 'grep' used on the
example dirs and /usr/include/vtk.  The html pages with the class tree
hierarchy along with the cited examples are also useful.

This is pretty strange unless vtk-tcl runs under the svga lib too.  I
wonder if that is the case.
