VTK for Application Developers Training

This course introduces the main concepts of the Visualization Toolkit (VTK) from the 2D/3D visualization to the more complex post-processing pipelines and integration in existing applications.

The examples are based on use cases from several scientific domains.

The training mixes theory and application with a set of tutorials and exercises.
