If you want to use VTK Ex, you have several options. If you are a VTK Example Developer, go here or a VTK Example Administrator go here.

Build an example¶

At the bottom of each example page, there are instructions on how to build the example.

Build all of the examples¶

If you are getting excited about learning VTK and are tired of downloading individual examples, you can build them all.

1. As a VTK Remote module

When you configure your VTK build, set Module_VTKEx:BOOL=ON and rebuild VTK.

1. Download a zip containing the source.

2. Clone the VTK examples repository

   git clone https://github.com/ajpmaclean/VTKEx.git
   cd VTKEx
   cd build
   cmake -DVTK_DIR:PATH=YOUR_VTK_BIN_DIR -DBUILD_TESTING:BOOL=ON ..
   make

where YOUR_VTK_BIN_DIR is the location of your VTK build.

Update the examples repository¶

If you cloned the examples repository, you can get the latest updates:

cd VTKEx
git pull
cd build
cmake ../VTKEx
make
