Understanding vtk Tools Inside VisTrails
Basic Concepts
I advise that a new user begin by playing with the Vistrails module that renders a simple cylinder. It can be found under the VisTrails examples folder as: …/examples/vtk_examples/Rendering/Cylinder.vt. Note that the suffix (or file type) ".vt" indicates that the file is a VisTrails (vt) python module; VisTrails modules, in turn, heavily refer to routines that are available through the open source Visualization Toolkit (vtk) library. This is a good example to begin with because it is highlighted in Chapter 4 of the VTK User's Guide, authored and published by Kitware, Inc.
