[vtkusers] large datasets in vtk and manipulation

[Sebastien Auclair]

The first thing would be for you to buy kitware's book;
http://www.barre.nom.fr/vtk/links-doc.html#books
"The Visualization Toolkit, User's Guide" ==> This is pretty mandatory !

Once your're there, it may not provide all the answers... Practicing is the
best thing to do.
There is a great urge for further documentation, (i.e. Use Cases examples)
but if your goal is simply "Data Vizualisation" then it should be very
simple to master.

On the other hand, if you're like us and you need VTK to implement a
software that don't just manipulate how the data are displayed but also to
modify the data through the displays interaction, then practicing and this
mailling list will be you're only resources.

Hope it helps !

window.

manipulate it.
