[vtkusers] Spaceball support

[Dade]

Hi

I have integrate a SpaceBall (2003, an old model) with VTK. I used the 
3DxWare SDK downloaded from www.3DConnexion.com
But the SDK only works on windows machine, so the code isn't portable 
accross different SO
I used MFC & VTK + SDK, there's an example to how use SDK with MFC (in 
SDK docs) and how use VTK with MFC (in VTK docs)

The first goal is to integrate the device, receive values from it and 
attach them to the camera
If you want use values to rotate/translate an object (not the entire 
scene), you must use a 6DOF VTK Interactor, I think.....but I don't know how

bye
dade.

I have been trying to figure out exactly how to integrate the spaceball with vtk, but have yet to have any success. Could someone please tell me if:
