[vtkusers] iren->Set*PickMethod() obsoleted?

[R K Shyamprakash]

Bruce,
        try the following code. The code is in Java.

		vtkPropPicker picker = new vtkPropPicker();
		int pick = picker.Pick(x,y,0,GetRenderer());//x,y is your mouse position

		//if picked, get the pick position
		if(pick != 0){
			double point[] = picker.GetPickPosition(); //point will give you X,Y,Z
coordinate
										 //of the picked point.
		}
Hope this helps.

Regards
Shyam

Hi there,
I'm trying to use VTK to return (x,y,z) coordinate corresponding to the
cursor
position when 'p' is pressed. I thought this might involve using the
iren->Set*PickMethod() but see that this is not to be used in future. Does
anyone know how I should go about getting the coordinate corresponding to a
pick
event?
cheers
Bruce Lamond
