Detailed Description

create a window for renderers to draw into

vtkRenderWindow is an abstract object to specify the behavior of a rendering window. A rendering window is a window in a graphical user interface where renderers draw their images. Methods are provided to synchronize the rendering process, set window size, and control double buffering. The window also allows rendering in stereo. The interlaced render stereo type is for output to a VRex stereo projector. All of the odd horizontal lines are from the left eye, and the even lines are from the right eye. The user has to make the render window aligned with the VRex projector, or the eye will be swapped.

Warning: In VTK versions 4 and later, the vtkWindowToImageFilter class is part of the canonical way to output an image of a window to a file (replacing the obsolete SaveImageAsPPM method for vtkRenderWindows that existed in 3.2 and earlier). Connect one of these filters to the output of the window, and filter's output to a writer such as vtkPNGWriter.

void vtkRenderWindow::CaptureGL2PSSpecialProps ( vtkCollection * specialProps )

The GL2PS exporter must handle certain props in a special way (e.g.

text). This method performs a render and captures all "GL2PS-special" props in the specified collection. The collection will contain a vtkPropCollection for each vtkRenderer in this->GetRenderers(), each containing the special props rendered by the corresponding renderer.
