[vtkusers] LabView and VTK?

[madhukar]

Hello.

    I have worked with an earlier version of LabVIEW that (at that time) had
not fully supported external calls to C++ .dll's(perhaps, this is your
problem?).  My guess is that if you can abstract the functionality that you
need from VTK into simple calls to exported methods / functions in a DLL,
you should be able to use LabVIEW and VTK together.

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone had any experience using LabView to link the
various VTK functions together.  My experience with text-based languages is
non-existent, but I am quite proficient in LabView and would prefer to use
it.

Perhaps as a broader question, is it possible to only use the .dll files
when using VTK?  LabView allows for external calls to .dll's to be made. I
had hoped that I would be able to simply use the external dll calls and link
the functions together from within LabView.  I have been partially
successful at calling the dll's and seeing the functions that exist inside
them, but I have been unable to pass data between various dll's or
functions.

Any help is appreciated!
