Repost: VRML file?

[Paul Hsieh]

I think you have to render first before creating the vrml world.
Also, the vrml file is an ASCII file, so you can open it up in any
text editor and look at it. If it is empty, then the problem is problem
in your vtk program. If it is full of numbers, then you should check
whether or not you VRML viewer is properly installed. (Download a
vrml world from the web and try to open it locally in your web browser.)
Good luck.
