[vtkusers] [Q] VTK User's Guide

[Gerald Dalley]

I started using the VTK User's Guide when I was writing my own VTK classes
(filters, readers, etc.) and found it quite helpful in getting me going the
right directions.  If you're just using the existing classes without
extending them, then the regular VTK book might be better.  Either way,
you'll probably want at least one of them unless you already understand how
the pipeline system is setup, the difference between update and execute, the
memory handling scheme, etc.

hi,

What does the VTK User's Guide offer that isn't on-line? Is it a standard
software manual or is it also a tutorial?
If it is a software guide what supplementary reading should I also pick
up?  I have the classic, Computer Programming Practices and Principlas, as
well as ton of OpenGL books.


What else do I need on the book shelf to learn VTK? Any reviews on the VTK
User's Guide? Want to know before I shovel out the $60.

thanks,

Mike N.
