[vtk-developers] First time trying VTK-6.0, strange error: no override found for 'vtkPolyDataMapper'.

[David Cole]

And I added the same info to a new wiki page:

     
http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/VTK/VTK_6_Migration/Factories_now_require_defines

And linked to the new page from a new item on the migration guide page.

Feel free to edit/improve.

If vtkPolyDataMapper::New() is returning NULL, then you are probably
not building your project with CMake.

If you're not building it with CMake, you need to define some symbols
to get all the factory methods to produce results.

Try including this in snippet in all your code that includes VTK usage:

#define vtkRenderingCore_AUTOINIT
4(vtkInteractionStyle,vtkRenderingFreeType,vtkRenderingFreeTypeOpenGL,vtk

RenderingOpenGL)
#define vtkRenderingVolume_AUTOINIT 1(vtkRenderingVolumeOpenGL)


See these references (and follow the mailing list threads to their
conclusions) for more info:

Thanks. How about PolyDataMapper?

Hi,


I am using Visual Studio 2010 in Windows 7.


Today I installed VTK-6.0 and tried to compile the sphere sample. The
code fails in   "vtkPolyDataMapper *map = vtkPolyDataMapper::New();"


Moreover, it seems map->SetInput(...) is obsolete.


Could anybody please tell me how to fix the error?


Thanks!


Best regards,
