Visualizing with VTK: a tutorial

Abstract

We introduce basic concepts behind the Visualization Toolkit (VTK). An overview of the system, plus some detailed examples, will assist in learning this system. The tutorial targets researchers of any discipline who have 2D or 3D data and want more control over the visualization process than a turn-key system can provide. It also assists developers who would like to incorporate VTK into an application as a visualization or data processing engine.
