vtk and wxWindows

[Brian Alexander Todd]

John,

Thanks for your response.  Unfortunately I am currently working
under Win32, although I was going to go the other direction and
port to GTK when I was finished.  At any rate I would very much
appreciate a look at your class.

Have you thought about using the wx document/view framework to
draw vtk windows?  This is essentially the wx equivalent of the
MFC example (ugview2) that the vtk distribution gives?  That was
the direction that I was heading to as it seems that 
overriding the OnDraw() virtual function of a view sets me up
to display, print, copy, ... and all of the other things in the
document/view framework.  Would you happen to know if there are
performance issues with this or any other problems?

Thanks,
Brian Todd
