[vtkusers] VTK/TCL/OSX-Tiger

[David Cole]

Please keep any further replies "on list" so that others can chime in if 
they know what's happening faster than me... :-)

The scripts in Examples\ImageProcessing\Tcl all work for me in the 
VTK-5-0 branch with the following caveats:

    * scripts should be run from a current working directory of
      Examples/ImageProcessing/Tcl
    * VTK_DATA_ROOT environment variable should point to a valid VTKData
      folder (unless VTKData is sibling of VTK source folder)
    * HistogramWidget.tcl is not meant to be a standalone script, it is
      called from Histogram.tcl
    * Histogram.tcl is only working with my Debug executable; it crashes
      when I run the Release build at the moment...


HTH,
David
