    import vtk

    def main():
        colors = vtk.vtkNamedColors()

        #
        # Next we create an instance of vtkConeSource and set some of its
        # properties. The instance of vtkConeSource "cone" is part of a visualization
        # pipeline (it is a source process object); it produces data (output type is
        # vtkPolyData) which other filters may process.
        #
        cone = vtk.vtkConeSource()
        cone.SetHeight(3.0)
        cone.SetRadius(1.0)
        cone.SetResolution(10)

        #
        # In this example we terminate the pipeline with a mapper process object.
        # (Intermediate filters such as vtkShrinkPolyData could be inserted in
        # between the source and the mapper.)  We create an instance of
        # vtkPolyDataMapper to map the polygonal data into graphics primitives. We
        # connect the output of the cone source to the input of this mapper.
        #
        coneMapper = vtk.vtkPolyDataMapper()
        coneMapper.SetInputConnection(cone.GetOutputPort())

        #
        # Create an actor to represent the cone. The actor orchestrates rendering of
        # the mapper's graphics primitives. An actor also refers to properties via a
        # vtkProperty instance, and includes an internal transformation matrix. We
        # set this actor's mapper to be coneMapper which we created above.
        #
        coneActor = vtk.vtkActor()
        coneActor.SetMapper(coneMapper)

        #
        # Create two renderers and assign actors to them. A renderer renders into a
        # viewport within the vtkRenderWindow. It is part or all of a window on the
        # screen and it is responsible for drawing the actors it has.  We also set
        # the background color here. In this example we are adding the same actor
        # to two different renderers; it is okay to add different actors to
        # different renderers as well.
        #
        ren1 = vtk.vtkRenderer()
        ren1.AddActor(coneActor)
        ren1.SetBackground(colors.GetColor3d("SlateGray"))
        ren1.SetViewport(0.0, 0.0, 0.5, 1.0)

        ren2 = vtk.vtkRenderer()
        ren2.AddActor(coneActor)
        ren2.SetBackground(colors.GetColor3d("LightSlateGray"))
        ren2.SetViewport(0.5, 0.0, 1.0, 1.0)

        #
        # Finally we create the render window which will show up on the screen.
        # We add our two renderers into the render window using AddRenderer. We also
        # set the size to be 600 pixels by 300.
        #
        renWin = vtk.vtkRenderWindow()
        renWin.AddRenderer(ren1)
        renWin.AddRenderer(ren2)
        renWin.SetSize(600, 300)

        iren = vtk.vtkRenderWindowInteractor()
        iren.SetRenderWindow(renWin)

        #
        # Make one camera view 90 degrees from the other.
        #
        ren1.ResetCamera()
        ren1.GetActiveCamera().Azimuth(90)

        #
        # Now we loop over 60 degrees and render the cone each time.
        #
        for i in range(0, 60):
            time.sleep(0.03)
