[vtk-developers] Modularization, Context2D and Tcl

[David Cole]

We've had classes named "vtk3DSImporter" and "vtk3DWidget" for a long time.

Here's the doc for 3DWidget from the 5.8 docs:

  http://www.vtk.org/doc/release/5.8/html/a00095.html

Are you saying they've never been accessible from tcl?
