[vtk-developers] CreateRepeatingTimer and X11/Tk

[David Cole]

Fixed in CVS HEAD by making vtkXRenderWindowTclInteractor a trivial subclass
of vtkXRenderWindowInteractor:

    /cvsroot/VTK/VTK/Graphics/Testing/Tcl/TestFillHolesFilter.tcl,v <--
Graphics/Testing/Tcl/TestFillHolesFilter.tcl
    new revision: 1.3; previous revision: 1.2
    /cvsroot/VTK/VTK/Rendering/vtkXRenderWindowInteractor.cxx,v <--
Rendering/vtkXRenderWindowInteractor.cxx
    new revision: 1.136; previous revision: 1.135
    /cvsroot/VTK/VTK/Rendering/vtkXRenderWindowInteractor.h,v <--
Rendering/vtkXRenderWindowInteractor.h
    new revision: 1.75; previous revision: 1.74
    /cvsroot/VTK/VTK/Rendering/vtkXRenderWindowTclInteractor.cxx,v <--
Rendering/vtkXRenderWindowTclInteractor.cxx
    new revision: 1.54; previous revision: 1.53
    /cvsroot/VTK/VTK/Rendering/vtkXRenderWindowTclInteractor.h,v <--
Rendering/vtkXRenderWindowTclInteractor.h
    new revision: 1.26; previous revision: 1.25

I will merge this to the VTK-5-2 branch after a clean night on the
dashboards and then mark this issue as resolved...


Thanks,
David Cole
