RenderView.cxx
#include <vtkRenderView.h> #include <vtkSphereSource.h> #include <vtkRenderer.h> #include <vtkRenderWindowInteractor.h> #include <vtkSmartPointer.h> #include <vtkActor.h> #include <vtkPolyDataMapper.h> int main(int, char*[]) { vtkSmartPointer<vtkSphereSource> sphereSource = vtkSmartPointer<vtkSphereSource>::New(); sphereSource->Update(); vtkSmartPointer<vtkPolyDataMapper> mapper = vtkSmartPointer<vtkPolyDataMapper>::New(); mapper->SetInputConnection(sphereSource->GetOutputPort()); vtkSmartPointer<vtkActor> actor = vtkSmartPointer<vtkActor>::New(); actor->SetMapper(mapper); vtkSmartPointer<vtkRenderView> renderView = vtkSmartPointer<vtkRenderView>::New(); renderView->SetInteractionMode(vtkRenderView::INTERACTION_MODE_3D); renderView->GetRenderer()->AddActor(actor); renderView->Update(); renderView->ResetCamera(); renderView->GetInteractor()->Start(); return EXIT_SUCCESS; }
CMakeLists.txt¶
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8) PROJECT(RenderView) find_package(VTK REQUIRED) include(${VTK_USE_FILE}) add_executable(RenderView MACOSX_BUNDLE RenderView.cxx) target_link_libraries(RenderView ${VTK_LIBRARIES})
Download and Build RenderView¶
Danger
The generation of tar files has not been ported to the new VTKExamples. Some tarballs may be missing or out-of-date.
Click here to download RenderView and its CMakeLists.txt file. Once the tarball RenderView.tar has been downloaded and extracted,
cd RenderView/build
If VTK is 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 ..
Build the project:
make
and run it:
./RenderView
WINDOWS USERS PLEASE NOTE: Be sure to add the VTK bin directory to your path. This will resolve the VTK dll's at run time.
