<div dir="ltr"><div>Hello Marcus and Dave (and hello vtk-developers!),</div><div><br></div>We should go ahead and remove the dead links. I can go through the pages and do that at some point. <div><br></div><div>My take is, since Kitware has more than a few Qt experts, and integration with Qt is such a common use case with VTK, we should have thorough documentation on this. I'm adding basic "Configuring with VTK" info to the "Building and Configuring" page.<br>
<div><br></div><div>Right now I'm focusing on the basics of building VTK with Qt 4.8.* and 5.* on various platforms, but it would be nice to have a detailed "Qt-VTK Landing Page" which provides more detailed information. It could be a general overview of architecture that we recommend reading - the sort of thing that wouldn't be necessary to, say, build and try out the VTK-QtGUI examples, but would be recommended reading for anyone embarking on their own project. A sort of Qt-roadmap could also fit in here, and would give the Qt Project somewhere to point.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Please feel free to add in what wisdom you have where you feel appropriate, or send me anything you'd like included. Perhaps we could augment or replace the QtSetup page [1]. I'm sure it will be useful for me and others. </div>

<br>
I was working on something and spotted the link to<br>
<a href="http://www.trolltech.com/products/3rdparty/vtksupport.html" target="_blank">http://www.trolltech.com/products/3rdparty/vtksupport.html</a> in quite a<br>
few of the Qt support classes in VTK. That page no longer exists and I<br>
cannot find it on the Digia or Qt Project pages.<br>
<br>
The Qt project has<br>
<a href="https://qt-project.org/wiki/Using_3D_engines_with_Qt" target="_blank">https://qt-project.org/wiki/Using_3D_engines_with_Qt</a> but states that<br>
they "can’t find a good documentation-mainpage about it". Should we<br>
add something to our wiki (or does it exist already), update our docs<br>
and the one's on the Qt project's site?<br>
<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Yes we should update both sides. I don't know if and what the best place to start is personally. Chris Mullins is working on updating VTK's docs right now and he might.</div><div>
<br></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
I could probably pull together a little of the basics, and add some<br>
detail on the Qt 4/5 stuff added in 6.1 but would hate to duplicate<br>
someone else's work if there is a page I just couldn't find in my<br>
searches.<br>
<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Please do! Ask Chris for help if you feel a need.</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
