[vtk-developers] Anyone looked at GLFW?

[Utkarsh Ayachit]

Thanks for the info. I will play with it some too. I have been
generally frustrated with VTK's window management code (latest one I
encountered --- offscreen on windows is causing segfaults) and feel we
need a cleaner alternative. If this is a clean solution, it may be
worthwhile incorporating it into VTK. It's already uses CMake as the
build system and uses the zlib/png license -- hence not an issue there
too.
