<div dir="ltr">VTK's ref counting mechanism (C++ ++ and -- operators...) is not thread safe. All VTK objects that have any chance of being related to each other must all be created and destroyed from the same thread. The only way you could use VTK objects from another thread would be to create them, use them and destroy them completely from that thread without relating them to any VTK objects that were created on other threads...<div>

i recompiled vtk with VTK_DEBUG_LEAKS flag in CMAKE and with use of vtkDebugLeaks i printed out the undeleted vtkobjects right before i close the program . I found out that if i create vtk objects in different threads the delete funtionality doesnŽt work anymore. When i only create vtkobjects in the mainThread they delete completely. But when i create different threads and in there new vtkObjects, dozens of vtkobjects remain in the memory.Even those i never created by myself. I call always the New() and Delete() methods for every vtkobject in the thread. And it happens with all kinds of vtkobjects.<br>
<br>
Here is an example of a thread-method:<br>
<br>

{<br>

Does anybody has an idea why i cant delete vtk objects in a thread? i tried already to cut the connections between vtkobjects in the different threads, but it also doesnŽt helped.<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance<br>
