# SideBySideRenderWindowsQtDriver

VTKExamples/Cxx/Qt/SideBySideRenderWindowsQtDriver

### Description

Although this example includes ui_SideBySideRenderWindowsQt.h, this file is not distributed, it is created by Qt at compile time.

### Code

SideBySideRenderWindowsQtDriver.cxx

    #include <QApplication>
    #include <QSurfaceFormat>

    #include "QVTKOpenGLWidget.h"
    #include "SideBySideRenderWindowsQt.h"

    int main( int argc, char** argv )
    {
      // needed to ensure appropriate OpenGL context is created for VTK rendering.
      QSurfaceFormat::setDefaultFormat(QVTKOpenGLWidget::defaultFormat());

      // QT Stuff
      QApplication app( argc, argv );

      SideBySideRenderWindowsQt sideBySideRenderWindowsQt;
      sideBySideRenderWindowsQt.show();

      return app.exec();
    }

### Download and Build SideBySideRenderWindowsQtDriver

Click here to download SideBySideRenderWindowsQtDriver and its CMakeLists.txt file. Once the tarball SideBySideRenderWindowsQtDriver.tar has been downloaded and extracted,

     cd SideBySideRenderWindowsQtDriver/build

This example requires Qt and VTK.

If VTK and Qt are installed:

     cmake ..

If VTK is not installed but compiled on your system, you will need to specify the path to your VTK build:

     cmake -DVTK_DIR:PATH=/home/me/vtk_build ..

If Qt is not found on your system, you will need to tell CMake where to find qmake:

    cmake -DQT_QMAKE_EXECUTABLE:FILEPATH=/usr/something/qmake  ..

Build the project:

    make

and run it:

    ./SideBySideRenderWindowsQtDriver

WINDOWS USERS

Be sure to add the VTK bin directory to your path. This will resolve the VTK dll's at run time. You may also need to add a Qt related path.
