Usage

vtkRenderWindow is an abstract object to specify the behavior of a rendering window. A rendering window is a window in a graphical user interface where renderers draw their images. Methods are provided to synchronize the rendering process, set window size, and control double buffering. The window also allows rendering in stereo. The interlaced render stereo type is for output to a VRex stereo projector. All of the odd horizontal lines are from the left eye, and the even lines are from the right eye. The user has to make the render window aligned with the VRex projector, or the eye will be swapped.

To create an instance of class vtkRenderWindow, simply invoke its constructor as follows

  obj = vtkRenderWindow

Methods

The class vtkRenderWindow has several methods that can be used. They are listed below. Note that the documentation is translated automatically from the VTK sources, and may not be completely intelligible. When in doubt, consult the VTK website. In the methods listed below, obj is an instance of the vtkRenderWindow class.

  • string = obj.GetClassName ()

  • obj.Frame () - A termination method performed at the end of the rendering process to do things like swapping buffers (if necessary) or similar actions.
  • obj.WaitForCompletion () - Block the thread until the actual rendering is finished(). Useful for measurement only.
  • obj.CopyResultFrame () - Performed at the end of the rendering process to generate image. This is typically done right before swapping buffers.
  • vtkRenderWindowInteractor = obj.MakeRenderWindowInteractor () - Create an interactor to control renderers in this window. We need to know what type of interactor to create, because we might be in X Windows or MS Windows.
  • obj.HideCursor () - Hide or Show the mouse cursor, it is nice to be able to hide the default cursor if you want VTK to display a 3D cursor instead. Set cursor position in window (note that (0,0) is the lower left corner).
