[vtkusers] Titan and graph/tree Infoviz

[Bladek, Anthony]

Jeff,
 Thanks for the help.  That worked great.  Now I have several other questions, if you don't mind.  Is it possible to display a graph in a vtkPanel?  I've got some great views using vtkGraphLayoutView but I need to integrate them along with some other components into an application and I can't find an example with vtkPanel that doesn't just add an image or shape to a panel. Do I need to use another method to display my graph in a vtkPanel? (vtkGraphToPolyData?)

Along those same lines, I have also read that vtkPanel wrapper has some bugs which make the SWING applications they are in crash during interaction. As far as I can tell from the users group, they are in the process of fixing them. 

On the other hand, I don't see any wrappers (or at least it is not in my vtk.jar) for the QT to VTK methods. Are there any and I just didn't check the right box in CMake?  If they exist, I thought I could use Jambi (QT in java) to get my interface up and running. 

I guess the bottom-line is what do recommend for integrating vtk and java into a real application with multiple controls and panels as opposed to just creating a graph and interacting with it in a single view (which is what I have done so far)? 

Thanks...

Anthony

Try adding the lines

reader.OutputPedigreeIdsOn();
reader.GeneratePedigreeIdsOn();

This will add pedigree ids to your table, and the error should go
away. GroupLeafVertices needs an array with ids in it to help in
bookkeeping.
