This example currently does nothing. How is this used?

TensorProbeWidget.cxx

#include <vtkRenderWindow.h>
#include <vtkRenderer.h>
#include <vtkRenderWindowInteractor.h>
#include <vtkSmartPointer.h>
#include <vtkTensorProbeWidget.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
  // a renderer and render window
  vtkSmartPointer<vtkRenderer> renderer = 
      vtkSmartPointer<vtkRenderer>::New();
  vtkSmartPointer<vtkRenderWindow> renderWindow = 
      vtkSmartPointer<vtkRenderWindow>::New();
  renderWindow->AddRenderer(renderer);
  
  // an interactor
  vtkSmartPointer<vtkRenderWindowInteractor> renderWindowInteractor = 
      vtkSmartPointer<vtkRenderWindowInteractor>::New();
  renderWindowInteractor->SetRenderWindow(renderWindow);

  vtkSmartPointer<vtkTensorProbeWidget> tensorProbeWidget = 
      vtkSmartPointer<vtkTensorProbeWidget>::New();
  tensorProbeWidget->SetInteractor(renderWindowInteractor);
  
  renderWindowInteractor->Initialize();
  renderWindow->Render();
  tensorProbeWidget->On();
  renderer->ResetCamera();
  renderWindowInteractor->Start();
  
  return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

Download and Build TensorProbeWidget

Click here to download TensorProbeWidget. and its CMakeLists.txt file.

Once the tarball TensorProbeWidget.tar has been downloaded and extracted,

cd TensorProbeWidget/build 

• If VTK is installed:

cmake ..

• If VTK is not installed but compiled on your system, you will need to specify the path to your VTK build:

cmake -DVTK_DIR:PATH=/home/me/vtk_build ..

Build the project:

make

and run it:

./TensorProbeWidget

WINDOWS USERS PLEASE NOTE: Be sure to add the VTK bin directory to your path. This will resolve the VTK dll's at run time.
