# ShowEventDriver

VTKExamples/Cxx/Qt/ShowEventDriver

### Description

Small example (not doing anything actually) to show the use of the overwritten QWidget::showEvent() function to initialize the VTK widget when it is actually used, not directly in the constructor.

### Code

ShowEventDriver.cxx

    #include <QApplication>

    #include "ShowEvent.h"

    int main(int argc, char *argv[])
    {
      QApplication app(argc, argv);
      ShowEvent showEvent;

      showEvent.show();
      return app.exec();
    }

### CMakeLists.txt

    cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8)

    PROJECT(ShowEventDriver)

    find_package(VTK REQUIRED)
    include(${VTK_USE_FILE})

    add_executable(ShowEventDriver MACOSX_BUNDLE ShowEventDriver.cxx )

    target_link_libraries(ShowEventDriver ${VTK_LIBRARIES})
