[vtk-developers] vtkInteractorStyleFlight doesn't work?

[Prabhu Ramachandran]

hi,

I was just playing with the various interactor styles and found that
the InteractorStyleFlight was not working as I expected.  I found that
the other styles worked fine (Joystick, trackball, unicam and
terrain).  Maybe I'm doing something wrong?

Here is a small Python code snippet that shows how I tested.

import Tkinter, vtk
from vtk.tk.vtkTkRenderWindowInteractor import vtkTkRenderWindowInteractor

def vtkRenderWindowInteractorConeExample():
    """Like it says, just a simple example
    """
    # create root window
    root = Tkinter.Tk()

    # create vtkTkRenderWidget
    pane = vtkTkRenderWindowInteractor(root, width=300, height=300)
    pane.Initialize()

    def quit(obj=root):
        obj.quit()

    pane.SetExitMethod(quit)

    ren = vtk.vtkRenderer()
    pane.GetRenderWindow().AddRenderer(ren)

    s = vtk.vtkInteractorStyleFlight()
    pane.SetInteractorStyle(s)
    pane.Initialize()
    print s

    cone = vtk.vtkConeSource()
    cone.SetResolution(8)
    
    coneMapper = vtk.vtkPolyDataMapper()
    coneMapper.SetInput(cone.GetOutput())
    
    coneActor = vtk.vtkActor()
    coneActor.SetMapper(coneMapper)

    ren.AddActor(coneActor)

    # pack the pane into the tk root
    pane.pack(fill='both', expand=1)
    pane.Start()

    # start the tk mainloop
    root.mainloop()
