[vtkusers] RE: Labview and VTK

[LJ van Ruijven, ACTA]

Hello John,

I use the combination Labview and VTK allready several years, and I never had 
a problem using VTK.

A problem VTK is that it consists of a series of classes, which all have a 
number of methods. You cannot use a method from a class without providing an 
instance of this class according to some strict protocol. Since Labview (I 
worked with versions  4,5, and 6) has no explicit support for C++ classes, I 
don't know how you can savely use them in Labview, and also I don't know how 
I should pass these instances to the class methods.

I solved this problem by creating a series of C++ functions as an interface 
between Labview and VTK. My Labview programs call these functions, and these 
functions use the classes and methods in the VTK.
