Hi All,<br>
<br>
I've been working on some changes to the VTK wrappers and am hoping<br>
that there are some people here who are willing to try them out and<br>
let me know if anything breaks. So far, I've only been testing them<br>
on the Mac and occasionally on Linux.<br>
<br>
How to get them:<br>
git clone git@github.com:dgobbi/VTK.git VTKnew<br>
<br>
The new features:<br>
* fixed support for vtkStdString parameters in all wrapper languages<br>
* support for vtkUnicodeString parameters in python<br>
* support for vtkVariant in python<br>
* fixed selection of overloaded methods based on provided argument<br>
types in python<br>
<br>
Overall, this represents a fix to the Tcl and Java wrappers (for<br>
vtkStdString) and a significant enhancement to the Python wrappers.<br>
<br>
The most significant change to the python wrappers is support for<br>
special types like vtkVariant. There is a new property called<br>
VTK_WRAP_SPECIAL that can be set for special types (i.e. types that<br>
start with ''vtk' but aren't derived from vtkObjectBase) that will<br>
allow those types to be used from Python. The methods of these<br>
special types are wrapped, but not operators like "+" or "-". Of<br>
course, after a new special type is wrapped, the //BTX and //ETX<br>
markers in all header files have to be removed from methods that use<br>
that type.<br>
<br>
For vtkVariant, the following features are not yet implemented:<br>
1) the ToNumeric method, because it's templated<br>
2) operators, except for "<<" via python "print" and "str()"<br>
3) the "valid" parameter<br>
<br>
In addition to vtkVariant, the vtkVariantCreate(),<br>
vtkVariantExtract(), and vtkVariantCast() functions are available.<br>
<br>
