[vtkusers] Selection model interaction between infovis views and non-infovis views

[Byron Ponten]

New to vtk.

Would like to sync up selections between all views (i.e.
plots/tables/graphs).    For the most part we would like to use infovis
views (charts, 2D scatter, etc.) but also need to create a 3D scatter plot –
which I’m assuming cannot be done within the infovis arena.

I’ve managed to link selections between “InfoVis” views by mimicking the
strategy as outlined in various infovis examples.

1.  Creating top-level vtkAnnotationLink and vtkViewUpdater entities
2.  Use SetAnnotationLink in each view’s representation
3.  Adding each view to the view updater.

So my question is, if it is indeed not possible to create a 3D scatter plot
within the infovis arena (and thus have access to it’s representation), how
do I connect the selection model (as maintained by the vtkAnnotationLink
object) with a 3D scatter plot?

Thanks!
