[vtkusers] BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation) when I try rendering data with vtk

[Andrew Lam]

Ok so I just checked and I have openGL version 4.4 on my windows machine
and I do have mesa on my virtual box. I've avoided trying to run VTK on my
windows, because my classmates have had a lot of difficulties getting it
set up. Do you think it'd be best if I just bite the bullet?

Thanks,
Andrew
