[vtkusers] ANN: VTK Book Examples

[Andrew Maclean]

Here they are. I have left out all the data files to save space.
Please note:
1) They were probably done in Python 2.6.
2) It was for VTK 6.0

As Bill noted it would be a good idea to use vtkNamedColors instead of
colors.py in the Python folder. These conversions were done long
before vtkNamedColors
existed.

Conversion Progress.txt should give you a good idea as to what was done.

Regards
   Andrew
