[vtkusers] Failed to update polydata - wxVTKRenderWindow.py

Hello,

I wanted to update polydata after Render().

In my test, I made some changes to the original wxVTKRenderWindow.py
(shipped with VTK python release), by adding a Keydown event ('x'),
which calls updatePolydata() to update the polydata
(wxVTKRenderWindow.srcdata). The function looks as follows.

def updatePolydata(self):
self.srcdata = vtk.vtkConeSource()
self.srcdata.SetResolution(32)
self.srcdata.Modified()
self.srcdata.Update()
self.Render()

I expected the new "Cone" will be drawn to the screen, but it didn't
happen.

Did I misunderstand anything about how to update the polydata and piplines?

Here is my testing environment:

OS: Windows 7 (64-bit)
Python: 2.7.7 (32 bit)
wxPython: wxPython2.8-win32-unicode-2.8.12.1-py27.exe
VTK: vtkpython-6.1.0-Windows-32bit.exe

My testing script is attached.

Thanks for your help in advance.

Kang

"""

"""
Please see the example at the end of this file.

----------------------------------------
Creation:

wxVTKRenderWindow(parent, ID, stereo=0, [wx keywords]):

You should create a wx.PySimpleApp() or some other wx**App
before creating the window.

----------------------------------------
Methods:

Render()
AddRenderer(ren)
GetRenderers()
GetRenderWindow()

----------------------------------------
Methods to override (all take a wx.Event):

OnButtonDown(event)  default: propagate event to Left, Right, Middle
OnLeftDown(event)    default: set _Mode to 'Rotate'
OnRightDown(event)   default: set _Mode to 'Zoom'
OnMiddleDown(event)  default: set _Mode to 'Pan'

OnButtonUp(event)    default: propagate event to L, R, M and unset _Mode
OnLeftUp(event)
OnRightUp(event)
OnMiddleUp(event)

OnMotion(event)      default: call appropriate handler for _Mode

OnEnterWindow(event) default: set focus to this window
OnLeaveWindow(event) default: release focus

OnKeyDown(event)     default: [R]eset, [W]irefreme, [S]olid, [P]ick
OnKeyUp(event)
OnChar(event)

OnSetFocus(event)
OnKillFocus(event)

OnSize(event)
OnMove(event)

OnPaint(event)       default: Render()

----------------------------------------
Protected Members:

_Mode:                 Current mode: 'Rotate', 'Zoom', 'Pan'
_LastX, _LastY:        The (x,y) coordinates of the previous event
_CurrentRenderer:      The renderer that was most recently clicked in
_CurrentCamera:        The camera for the current renderer

----------------------------------------
Private Members:

__Handle:              Handle to the window containing the vtkRenderWindow
