[vtkusers] VTK 6.2 and PyQt5?

[David Gobbi]

Hi Elvis,

You should be able to copy the QVTKRenderWindowInteractor.py from
the VTK master branch into your project (even rename it if you like) and
then use it with any version of VTK.

Just replace the two try/except blocks at the top of the file with this:

    PyQtImpl = "PyQt5" # or "PyQt4" or "PySide"
    QVTKRWIBase = "QWidget" # or "QGLWidget"

You can think of this script as an example that that you can grab and
and modify to suit your own purposes.

 - David
