0010886: manta : multiple windows, coexistance with normal GL, and manta in builtin mode
You can not make a manta view in builtin mode, have multiple manta windows, or even make new GL windows once you have created the manta window because of the way vtkManta uses the object factory to hijack the creation of normally GL based vtk classes. This is the biggest architectural change I see remaining for Manta.

We need to get rid of the manta object factory and instead encode classnames as is usually done in the XML. To do that we will need a way to make manta classes on the server but GL classes on the client because manta on the client is a bottleneck. We should then move the manta interface out of the window and intro the renderer. Once that is done we can even have GL renderers and manta renderers coexisting in the same window as is required for the annotation layer.
At that point we can move vtkManta out of ParaView and into VTK.
No tags attached.
