[vtkusers] Re: Best vtk / QT package?

[Steffen Oeltze]

I have found a convenient way in the meanwhile. When the user changes 
the rgb-values (the scalar value keeps the same) of a point I simply use 
the function addRGBValue(...). VTK internally replaces the old point by 
the new one. When the user changes the scalar value I use the 
getDataPointer()-function which returns a pointer to the transfer 
function and then, I manipulate the function directly by replacing the 
scalar value each time the user moves a slider. This is actually what 
I'm planing to do. I haven't implemented it yet.
I expect to be at most 10 points in my functions.

Have you tried to enable a vtkQtRenderWindow for stereo rendering yet ?
