VTK<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>I've been using MangledMesa with VTK (5.0.1) for quite a while now
with pretty good success, but I ran into an issue where I couldn't get
vtkTextActor's to display in the resulting displays at all.<BR><BR>So I
upgraded to a newer VTK hoping this was fixed (Paraview-2-6 branch) and
recompiled everything. Now my resulting renderings are completely
blank. I did have some issues with getting it to compile as it seems a
few of the files in the Rendering directory have desynced between the vtkMesa*
and vtkOpenGL* versions. I manually resynced them (Just had to copy some
function definitions in the .h files over) and it compiled. <BR><BR>So my
question is a 2 parter:<BR>1) Anyone know how to get TextActors to work with
the 5.0.1 VTK? Was there a known bug around that time that's been fixed,
or is there some new option that must be enabled to get it to work? <BR>2) How
to I get MangledMEsa to work in the newer VTK releases? Right now i'm
getting either blank or random-garbage displays.<BR clear=all><BR>--
