[vtkusers] vtkTkRenderWidget and interaction on OS X 10.4.6

[Marty Humperdink]

Sean,

Yes, quite right. Sorry for the lack of meaningful
information in my previous post. 

I'm using VTK 5.0 (latest release, not cvs) on Mac OSX
10.4.6 (MacBookPro Intel). I am using Tcl/Tk v8.4.13,
and the most recent version of Cmake. In using CMake I
turned Carbon off, Cocoa on, and Wrap Tcl/Tk on.

I'm trying to run VTK-Tcl scripts which I originally
ran (without problems) with VTK5.0 binary for Windows
(ie I didn't compile but just downloaded the
installer). 

While most of the scripts run (produce graphics
without crashing) they do not respond to mouse events
or 'u' keystroke as expected since I used
vtkRenderWindowInteractor. I did see a posting last
week which described similar behaviour to which you
replied and mentioned bug report 2025. Do I need to
use a differnt command than vtkRenderWindowInteractor
when running on the Mac? I see a
vtkCocoaRenderWindowInteractor class in the VTK5
documentation and tried swapping it for
vtkRenderWindowInteractor but still didn't get any
response to mouse events. I'm wondering if there's
something I should be doing differently and/or if I'm
experiencing the bug 2025 mentioned in your post. 

Separately, my scripts that employ vtkTkRenderWidget
crash when I try to run them on the Mac. I just get an
'invalid command name "vtkTkRenderWidget" ' message. I
looked back to what I did in Cmake to see if I was
missing some flag that might allow me to use this
class but didn't see anything that was obvious to me. 

thanks for your time,
MH
