[vtkusers] Help for VTK installation

Wed Nov 6 06:27:46 EST 2013

Dear Ana,
you can find the official VTK User's Guide here:
http://www.kitware.com/products/books/vtkguide.html

The alternative is to dive into the wiki, and to explore the examples and
the classes directly.

Kind regards,
JON HAITZ
