[vtk-developers] Crossing library boundaries

[jimcp at cox.net]

David, 

I have to agree that what you are describing is a HybridArrow. Consider that somehow the order of compilation has to be adhered to. And at present, Graphics are required to be build before any Hybrid can be build.  So to use Hybrid content to create an arrow will have to be build along with the Hybrid library. 

Hope that helps, 
Jim
