Usually people discuss only pressure dependent phase transformations in case of either tin dioxide or titanium dioxide. It would be nice if someone gave the phase diagram for tin dioxide.

$\begingroup$ If your institution has access, the ASM Alloy Phase Diagram Database is the place to start (asminternational.org). None of the O-Sn diagrams (all at standard pressure) indicate a phase transition. $\endgroup$– Jon CusterAug 2, 2016 at 12:19

Anatase and rutile phases form in $\ce{TiO2},$ the presence of cationic dopants or impurities significantly affect the transformation kinetics and phase stability [1]. It should be noted that anatase is metastable at all temperatures and pressures.
