[vtk-developers] Embedding QVTKWidget(2) inside PyQt4 applications: help needed

[Thorben Kroeger]

Hello everyone,

Our group (we do image processing at University Heidelberg) is looking 
into using VTK in one of our applications, which is written in PyQt4. 
Having had no success with vtk 5.6, I have upgraded to VTK git and am 
now using QVTKWidget2 (with the SIP wrappers). I got it partially 
working on Linux (both Gentoo and Ubuntu) and a Mac Book, but on Windows 
VTK is unusable.

When embedding the QVTKWidget(2) into a layout and then adding that to a 
mainwindow, the behaviour is different from simply having a toplevel 
QVTKWidget(2).

Please have a look at this bug, where two very simple testcases are 
included:

Thanks for your input,

Thorben
