[vtkusers] Embedding a vtkRendererWindow in a Java frame/panel

[Sebastien Jourdain]

This should do the trick.

import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import vtk.vtkActor;
import vtk.vtkConeSource;
import vtk.vtkPanel;
import vtk.vtkPolyDataMapper;

public class VTKSample {

public static void main(String[] args) {
// Build the VTK 3D view
// (Should be done before using any vtk
// object or load the native
// library first)
vtkPanel panel3D = new vtkPanel();

// Build a simple VTK pipeline
vtkConeSource coneSource = new vtkConeSource(); coneSource.SetRadius(2);
coneSource.SetAngle(15);
coneSource.SetHeight(2);
coneSource.SetResolution(10);

vtkPolyDataMapper coneMapper = new vtkPolyDataMapper();
coneMapper.SetInput(coneSource.GetOutput());

vtkActor coneActor = new vtkActor();
coneActor.SetMapper(coneMapper);

// Add actor in 3D Panel
panel3D.GetRenderer().AddActor(coneActor);

// Build Java Frame and include the VTK view
JFrame frame = new JFrame("VTK Java Demo");
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
frame.getContentPane().setLayout(new BorderLayout());
frame.getContentPane().add(panel3D, BorderLayout.CENTER);
frame.setSize(500, 500);
frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null); // Center on desktop frame.setVisible(true);
}
}
