The VTK [textbook](https://book.vtk.org) offers thorough descriptions of important visualization algorithms and techniques that can be found in VTK
along with some examples.

More examples and how-to guides can be found at the [examples](https://examples.vtk.org/site) website.
Check also
[this](https://examples.vtk.org/site/Python/Utilities/SelectExamples) script for
getting examples focused around specific classes.

Community discussion takes place on the [VTK Discourse](https://discourse.vtk.org) forum.

Commercial [support and training](https://kitware.com/support) are available from [Kitware](https://kitware.com).
