[vtkusers] Cocoa, Python, VTK and wx embedded window problems

[John Donker]

Hi,

I am working  on a project that is using VTK with wxWidgets and  
Python. And on OS X (10.5) something very strange happens. When I try  
to embed the VTK window (like in the example wxvtkWindowRender.py in  
wrapping/python/vtk/wx) I get two windows of the same size. One  
displays the VTK openGL output and the other responds to events.  The  
openGL output responds correctly, except that it's rendering in a  
different window.

The same python code works on Windows Vista without any problems. In  
the terminal some messages appear that the window can't be remapped  
because it's unsupported.  A quick check in the headers confirms this.  
But I have seen embedded VTK windows in other apps so this unlikely.  
Since I have very limited experience with OpenGL and Cocoa I don't  
really have an idea where to look to solve this problem.

I am compiling from the command-line with shared_libs, python_wrapping  
and cocoa.  Is this a known bug?

Sincerely,

John Donker
