[vtkusers] How to get a vtkContextView into a QWidget?

[Eric E. Monson]

Hello,

As long as you are programming in C++ I think you can follow the examples in [vtksource]/Examples/Infovis/Cxx -- there they have things like EasyView that put a vtkGraphLayoutView into a QVTKWidget. I haven't tried this with the Charts specifically, but since vtkContextView is also a vtkRenderView, hopefully you can do the same thing:

  // Graph View needs to get my render window
  this->GraphView->SetInteractor(this->ui->vtkGraphViewWidget->GetInteractor());
  this->ui->vtkGraphViewWidget->SetRenderWindow(this->GraphView->GetRenderWindow());

(The reason I say that hopefully you're using C++ is that I can't get this to work with the Python wrappers and PyQt4...)

How would I get this embedded into a QWidget? I've been using QVTKWidget previously but I don't think I can just put the renderer from the context view into the qvtkwidget?
