[vtkusers] vtkQtChart ?

[Paul Harris]

Is the QtChart considered mature?  I mean, is there going to be any major
changes to the way it draws, displays, and processed data?

Or is that part of it considered done?

>From what you are saying, it sounds like the development will be focussed
entirely on creating a bridge between vtk data and the chart.  is that
correct?

thanks,
Paul
