This category is for explanatory posts that describe how to use SMTK to perform a task. It is intended to capture the “officially sanctioned” way to do things (i.e. intended usage patterns, not anti-patterns) that are either common or non-obvious.

This category is not for discussions of how to use SMTK’s API (see _Using SMTK_ for that) or changes your would like to make (see _Design_ for that).
