[vtkusers] Trouble using VTK Widget with QVTK

[Mathieu Westphal]

Hi,

QVTKOpenGLWindow in 8.1.0 and 8.1.1 is very stable and is used by all
VTK/Qt based application, like ParaView for example.

Problem 1 and Problem 2 are QTCreator related. I would suggest adding a
simple QWidget in Qt creator, and once you're finished,
juste change it manually in the .ui.

Regarding Problem 3, well the answer is in the question. Juste use a
vtkGenericOpenGLRenderWindow instead of a win32 specific.
The vtkGenericOpenGLRenderWindow implementation is newer and will work on
all platform.

See attached for a QVTKOpenGLWidget usage example (found in
VTK/GUISupport/Qt/Testing/Cxx/)

Best regards,




Mathieu Westphal
