[IGSTK-Users] KWWidgets and IGSTK

[Andinet Enquobahrie]

Hi Ozgur,

The igstkFLTKWidget is a specialized class of the Fl_GL_Window. Its purpose
is to display graphical representation and capture and translate FLTK 
events to VTK
events..But all the other FLTK GUI elements can be directly used in your 
applications.
All elements don't need to be integrated  into the IGSTK toolkit to be 
used in application
development.If you take a look at the Example applications in the Sandbox
 ( such as NeedleBiopsy), in addition to igtkFLTKWidget, GUI elements 
such as
action buttons, menus are used.

KWWidgets provides vtkKWRenderWidget which uses internally a 
vtkTKRenderWidget.
vtkTKRenderWidget is a Tk widget that you can render your scene into. To 
use this widget in
IGSTK, you will need to implement a subclass of vtkTkRenderWidget 
similar to the way
QVTKWidget is subclassed to implement igstkQTWidget.

Currently, we don't have any plan of implementing igstkTkWidget. 
However, if you are interested to
to undertake this task and contribute back to the community, I will be 
more than happy to guide you
through the process.

Cheers,
-Andinet
