[Insight-developers] VTK in FLTK on OSX

[Luis Ibanez]

Hi John,

Please use the vtkFlRenderWindowInteractor class that is available in

          InsightApplications/Auxiliary/VtkFltk  

This is the class that will allow you to manage a VTK image inside
a FLTK GUI interface.

We are using this class (created by Charles P. Botha) in several
applications combining VTK, ITK and FLTK.

It works nicely.


Regards,


   Luis
