How to close the main VTK window in code?

Mon Dec 27 08:29:03 EST 1999

I don't have a complete answer, but this may help.  I have a Tcl script
that converts ply-format files to VRML and VTK(PolyData) format.
I don't need the RenderWindow to show on my display at all, so I do
a Tk destroy.  Something similar might work for you.  Here's part of
the code:

...lines omitted...
proc cmd {cmds} {
# ---------------------------------------------------------------
# Called to run a list of vtk commands.
# ---------------------------------------------------------------
	global Debug
	foreach cmd $cmds {
		if {$Debug} { puts stderr $cmd; }
		eval $cmd
	}
} ;# End cmd.
...lines omitted...
cmd [list\
	"vtkActor objActor"\
	"objActor SetMapper objMapper"\
	"vtkRenderer ren1"\
	"renWin AddRenderer ren1"\
	"ren1 AddActor objActor"\
	"ren1 SetBackground 1 1 1"\
	"renWin SetSize 600 600"]
if {0 != [string length $v]} {
	# v-switch indicates creating a vrml dataset.
	cmd [list\
		"wm withdraw ."\
		"vtkVRMLExporter exp"\
		"exp SetRenderWindow renWin"\
		"exp SetFileName $v"\
		"exp Write"\
		"destroy ."]
} elseif {0 != [string length $p]} {
	# p-switch indicates creating a vtk PolyData object dataset.
	cmd [list\
		"wm withdraw ."\
		"vtkPolyDataWriter wtr"\
		"wtr SetInput obj"\
		"wtr SetFileName $p"\
		"wtr Update"\
		"destroy ."]
} else {
	# Otherwise define renderer, and invoke the interactor.
	cmd [list\
		"source /opt/vtk/examplesTcl/vtkInt.tcl"\
		"vtkRenderWindowInteractor iren"\
		"iren SetRenderWindow renWin"\
		"iren SetUserMethod {wm deiconify .vtkInteract}"\
		"iren Initialize"\
		"wm withdraw ."]
}
