[vtkusers] RenderWindow Interactor on Mac OS X

[Anusha]

Hi

I can see from the forums that you have to do certain things to get be 
able to interact with VTK on a mac.  I've just compiled vtk-py23 on my 
mac which works fine except for the fact that none of the mouse 
buttons/keyboard commands are recognised (I'm running tcl scripts 
through apple's X11 using Panther 10.3.9).  Having read previous 
messages, there seem to be 2 ways of overcoming this problem....

I can not put my Tcl script in an application as Tcl is an interpreted 
and not compiled language, and I don't understand what how to use a 
'resource fork' as 'rez' does not seem to be recognised as a command on 
my mac.  Can anyone help??

Cheers!
