Hi Longfei,

There is *a lot* of VTK documentation.
You are probably not looking in the right places.

All the information about VTK can be found at

        http://www.vtk.org

The first thing you may want to do is to subscribe
to the VTK users list:

http://public.kitware.com/mailman/listinfo/vtkusers

Then look at the books:

The Visualization Toolkit, An Object-Oriented Approach
To 3D Graphics, 3rd edition, ISBN 1-930934-07-6
http://www.kitware.com/products/vtktextbook.html

The Visualization Toolkit User's Guide, ISBN 1-930934-08-4,
http://www.kitware.com/products/vtkguide.html

Mastering CMake, ISBN 1-930934-09-2,
http://www.kitware.com/products/cmakebook.html



You will find VTK tutorials in Sebastien's links page:

Regards,


   Luis
