[vtkusers] R: Plot XY

[edoardo.belletti at alice.it]

I don't have the latests CVS version of VTK but VTK 5.4.2 that I have download from www.vtk.org 
and so the code that you suggest me it doesn't  work because it don't found these files: 
vtkChartXY, vtkPlot.h.h, vtkContextView.h, vtkContextScene.h
There is some way to simply have a XYPlot of two vectors with my VTK release?

Thank you 
Edoardo

assuming that is very old code.

Marcus Hanwell has been working hard on new charting functionality - there
is a simple example here:
http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/VTK_Examples_Chart_XY

You must have the latests CVS version of VTK built to use this new feature.
