Detailed Description

Cocoa OpenGL rendering context.

This class is a subclass of Cocoa's NSView; it uses Objective-C++. This class overrides several NSView methods. To provide the usual VTK keyboard user interface, it overrides the following methods: acceptsFirstResponder, keyDown:, keyUp:, and flagsChanged: To provide the usual VTK mouse user interface, it overrides the following methods: mouseMoved:, mouseEntered:, mouseExited: scrollWheel:, mouseDown:, rightMouseDown:, otherMouseDown:, mouseDragged:, rightMouseDragged:, otherMouseDragged:, and updateTrackingAreas. To provide file dropping support, it implements the following methods: draggingEntered: and performDragOperation:. To be able to render and draw onscreen, it overrides drawRect:.

Compatibility notes:

• this class was previously a subclass of NSOpenGLView, but starting with VTK 5.0 is now a subclass of NSView.
• starting with VTK 6.3 this class overrides the more modern updateTrackingAreas instead of resetCursorRects.
• starting with VTK 8.1 this class properly supports Retina displays and implements viewWillMoveToWindow: and viewDidChangeBackingProperties to do so.
• starting with VTK 9.0 this class now also overrides initWithCoder:. It also implements draggingEntered: and performDragOperation: and thus declares conformance to the NSDraggingDestination protocol.
