[vtkusers] Multiple views of a single 3D scene

[Thomas Sundgaard Pedersen]

This is what I do too. But when the render is loaded with many actors I
get the problem, some time it even totally kills my machine and windows
writes that my graphics driver no longer works, and shift to a very low
resolution with only 16 colors. With only one window it works fine, and
also with multiple documents.

Best Regards
Thomas

Hi Thomas,

theoretically, it is quite simple. You have an MDI application
where you store the data in the CDocument. In the CView you set
the renderer, the actors and all the stuff.

Take a look at the MDI-VTK samples which are shipped with the
VTK code. I just tried it. I opened one file and made three
new windows from it. I could move the object around independly
for all four windows.

It should work similiar with a splitter.


greets
  Ingo
