<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" ><tr><td valign="top" style="font: inherit;">Hi,<br><br>I have an instance of vtkContourWidget declared, call it cwidget. I have a delete button for this instance and I need to check if the instance exists or not. How can I check if cwidget exists or not. This may have something to do with reference counting but I don't understand this concept fully....<br><br>bob.<br><br></td></tr></table><br>
