[vtkusers] Compiling VTK for iOS????

[Abhishek Gupta]

Hello Joachim,

Target is to implement volume rendering application on iOS platform. If "
vtkFixedPointVolumeRayCastMapper" can be used, could you please direct me
to a suitable example?

A quick question regarding paraview web. Will it work with iOS browsers?
