[vtkusers] Re: Stero rendering in the SGI platform

[David A. Hite]

Hi Carlos,

Here's how I've got stereo to work on my Octane with Crystal Eyes...

In vtk code:
    vtkRenderer *renderer = vtkRenderer::New();
    vtkRenderWindow *renWin = vtkRenderWindow::New();
    renWin->GetStereoCapableWindow();
    renWin->SetStereoTypeToCrystalEyes();
    renWin->AddRenderer( renderer );
    vtkRenderWindowInteractor *iren = vtkRenderWindowInteractor::New();
    iren->SetRenderWindow( renWin );
    renWin->Render();
    iren->Start();

Then at your command prompt type xsetmon, this will bring up a window to
change your monitor display rates. Select 1024x768_96s ( s for stereo ),
cancel when prompted to make the new configuration the power on default.

Start your program, in the window type the '3' key this toggles the stereo
mode on.
(See the RenderWindowInteractor on page 60 of the User's Guide.)

That should get you going.
If that doesn't work let me know.
