<div dir="ltr">Hi Seb,<div><br></div><div>thanks for your feedback.</div><div><br></div><div>The example was indeed useful: I am now using vtkJoglCanvasComponent (got current VTK 6.1 from GIT) as my rendering component, and now I am rendering my 3D view through JOGL, after loading a bunch of JARs and native libs.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Rendering seems to work quite fine on Windows (I am testing on this OS first of all, then I will move to Mac later), and I can see my 3 vtkImagePlaneWidgets in the 3D view. Also, if I programmatically change vtkImagePlaneWidgets' plane positions or orientations, and then call Render() on my vtkJoglCanvasComponent, the 3D view is updating fine.</div>
<div><br></div><div>On the other side, if I try to interact with the widgets in the 3D view through the mouse, my Java application immediately and completely freezes, and the CPU goes up to 25%.</div><div><br></div><div>Can you guess what is causing this behavior? Is interaction with widgets supposed to work when using JOGL?</div>
<div><br></div><div>I have not tested this, but I have the impression that the application freezes when the widget's native code calls "this->Interactor->Render();". Will this call be somehow "intercepted" by JOGL, and become equivalent to calling Render() on the vtkJoglCanvasComponent (which, on the other side, seems to work fine)?</div>
<div><br></div><div>Thanks again for your feedback: this path seems really promising, and may open a whole new world with using VTK from Java.</div><div><br></div><div>Regards,</div><div><br></div><div>Marco</div><div><br>

<div><br></div><div>Although, a couple of weeks ago, I've pushed a new set of classes that works on Mac OS X and Java7 (and on the other of the platforms).</div>
<div>Those classes rely on JOGL to do the rendering. So if adding JOGL as a dependency is not an issue, you can directly use those.</div><div><br></div><div>For that you will need to get VTK/master from git and when you build VTK, you will have to turn ON that component. Moreover if you already download JOGL/GLUGEN using maven, CMake should find the appropriate jars for you.</div>
<div>Otherwise you will need to specify their paths.</div><div><br></div><div>Here is the dependency for Maven.</div><div><br></div><div><div>+ <dependency></div><div>+ <groupId>org.jogamp.jogl</groupId></div>

<div dir="ltr">Dear VTKers,<div><br></div><div>I am developing a VTK 6-based Java application, and I am making some efforts to make it compatible with Mac OS X as well.</div><div><br></div><div>I know that the jawt embedding currently supported by Java 7 on Mac (which is CALayer-based) does not work with VTK 6 (nor with previous VTK versions), but there are several portions of my application which do not use direct drawing by VTK classes to Java panels (i.e., do not use jawt), hence will work fine on Mac + Java 7 as well.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Now, for the portions of my application where VTK classes need to actually "draw", my question is: will offscreen rendering work on Mac? The basic idea would be to grab the output of the offscreen rendering, convert it to a Java-compatible image, and draw it to a Java panel. I know this will be a significant performance penalty, but my requirements in this moment are not so strict or demanding under this point of view.</div>
<div><br></div><div>In particular, I have a vtkCanvas-derived panel, where I display some planes in 3D (actually, they are vtkImagePlaneWidgets, but I am mainly interested in the "display" functionality, not in the interactivity of the widget with the user). Will it be sufficient to call myVtkCanvas.GetRenderWindow().SetOffScreenRendering(1) to obtain offscreen rendering on my Mac? Or it is more complicated than that?</div>
<div><br></div><div>Currently, calling just myVtkCanvas.GetRenderWindow().SetOffScreenRendering(1), I am obtaining a crash in the OpenGL library when running my application on the Mac.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks in advance for your feedback.</div>
