@cory.quammen This page also was deleted - I don’t think intentional.
https://vtk.org/Wiki/VTK/Tutorials/SmartPointers
Is there a way to restore it?

Dan, I restored that page. We should move those tutorials into the user guide, examples site, or as pages under the Doxygen IMO.

63

It could also go into the VTK Examples. I did something like this for VTKFileFormats. The markdown was a bit tricky though. I also did a little write up in VTKTextBook, see: 3.11.2 VTK Pointer Classes.

64

I should have added that I’m happy to do it if you guys want it in the VTK Examples.

Great. Thanks Cory. Yes, I agree it would be nice to have those wiki tutorials integrated into a single resource. IMO the best fit is VTKUsersGuide. VTKTextBook’s focus is more on presenting visualization algorithms and showing examples implemented in VTK.

Is there an effort to convert VTKUsersGuide to markdown? It could go into VTK Examples next to the VTKTextBook.

It looks like the new examples link to images on the old Wiki page. For example, https://gitlab.kitware.com/vtk/vtk-examples/-/blob/master/src/Cxx/Graphs/NOVCAGraph.md references the image http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/images/a/ac/GraphCXX.png. Is it on someone’s radar to replace these links to images in the vtk-examples repository?

67

I’m afraid nobody thought of that.

68

There are several options:

  1. There are only a few of these links. I can set up a folder in vtk-examples for them.
  2. Remove the links completely.

Personally I prefer option 1.

Sounds good to me.

Ok, let’s do option1, give me a couple of days, the weekend is starting here.
