[vtkusers] Using OpenGl with VTK

[Mohammed Amine SAHTARI]

Thank you very much Utkarsh.

I am tring to implement your solution but I have some problems.

1) I create vtkMyDerivedProp.h and vtkMyDerivedProp.cxx

 I subclass vtkProp :
       - I copy the class code of vtkProp3D (.h and .c files)
       - I replace all the words :
               vtkProp3D *by* *vtkMyDerivedProp *and Prop3D by *
MyDerivedProp*
       - I include *"vtkGl.h"* in vtkMyDerivedProp.h
       - I add RenderOpaqueGeometry() in vtkMyDerivedProp.h like this :
               *virtual int RenderOpaqueGeometry(vtkViewPort* )
               {*

*             glBegin (GL_LINES);

             glVertex2f (-2.5, 2.5);

             glVertex2f (2.5, -2.5);


             glEnd ();*

*               }*

2) In my program :

 - I include and instantiate vtkMyDerivedProp :

    *  **# include "vtkMyDerivedProp.h"
      vtkMyDerivedProp *MyDerivedProp;*

-         I use  vtkMyDerivedProp :

*     vtkRenderer  *renderer = vtkRenderer  ::New();*

*      vtkMyDerivedProp-> RenderOpaqueGeometry(renderer);*

*      renderer->AddProp(vtkMyDerivedProp);*


*Problem *: vtkMyDerivedProp is used without been defined!

*Question 1 :* How can I define it ?   (vtkMyDerivedProp::New()  doesn't
work)

*Question 2 :*  RenderOpaqueGeometry has vtkViewPort* in input but doesn't
use it. Is it a problem ?

How can I fix this?

Looking forward to hear from you soon,
Amine
