[vtkusers] How to handle windows in Java???

[J.A. Lee]

Jason,
If you are using vtk 4.0 then you will find a java class called 
vtkPanel.java somewhere in the distribution (I think it is in 
Wrapping/Java/).  vtkPanel has hooks into the native windowing system 
which allows the scene to be drawn in an awt canvas.  There should also 
be another class called SimpleVTK.java which demonstrates how to use 
vtkPanel with some other swing components.  vtkImageViewer is a 
convenience class to display 2d images.  If you want to do more than 
just display images, you should start with the vtkPanel class and extend it.
