Re: [wxVTK] wxVTK and wxWidgets 2.8

[Nigel N. <nN...@au...>]

wxVtk and wxAUI/wxWidgets 2.8.7 are working well here Win32(XP).
 
Is this a good time to update the wxVtk samples to show off some 
current wx features? The floating/docking panels of wxAUI are very 
impressive.
 
Any reports from Mac (cocoa/carbon) users?

Hi,

 

I realized on the wxVTK web page it was claimed not to support wxWidgets 2.8=
 for the moment. However, I did use the wxVTKRenderWindowInteractor.cxx with=
 my wxWidget 2.8 application. It seemed to work ok, although I haven't teste=
d it thoroughly. So I wonder if it actually supports 2.8 now, or if not, is=
 there anything I should be careful with?

 

Many thanks

David

Yes, It works.

Going a little bit deeper in the debugging I see it crashes trying to
unregister the render window.

[Mathieu M. <mat...@gm...>]

I have seen those kind of weird bugs happen when there is a mismatch
of gtl version (you are including gtk 1.X at compile time, and linking
against gtk 2.x at link time...)
At some point wxGTK 2.4 had some issues, but wxGTK 2.6.3 should be fine.
The last thing I have seen is that KDE does not behave totally like
GNOME, when talking to the X11 server.

Last but not least, are you sure you configured your hardware
accelerated OpenGL driver correctly, ie can you run glxgears ?

wxGTK 1.X?

Do you mean gtk 1.X?

I have both gtk 1.2 and 2.0 installed on my system but I am using

gtk 2.0 and wxGTK 2.6.

[wxVTK] wxVTK samples - cannot delete wxVTKRenderWindowInteractor

[Marco <tsu...@si...>]

Dear all,

I am trying to run your sample applications without any modification.
Everything works fine until I close the window when the application
crashes. Debugging the code, I see it crashes trying to delete the
wxVTKRenderWindowInteractor in the wxFrame destructor. Any advice?
Here is my system configuration:

Ubuntu 7.10
Linux 2.6.22
gcc 4.1.3
vtk 5.0.3
wxGTK 2.6.3
wxVTK 1.2

Thank you in advance,

Re: [wxVTK] Wheel mouse code update

[Philip S. <oh...@vt...>]

Ahh, Yea.  It's Good that you pointed that out.

It's a little dangerous because it takes the -- last --  wxMouse events 
modifiers.  No, you can't check wxMouse event in OnMouseWheelIdle because it 
uses the net result of many wxMouse events.  Also, OnMouseWheelIdle takes an 
wxIdleEvent and not a wxMouseEvent.  From my testing, it works well.  I was 
not physical quick enough to change the modifier between wheel events. 
Originally, I was going to handle that case.  After testing it, I didn't feel 
that it was nessary. 

I've attached an updated version that supports accumulation of modifiers. 

Thanks,
Philip Schuchardt

Re: [wxVTK] Wheel mouse code update

[Mathieu M. <mat...@gm...>]

Hi Philip,

  I am looking at your code, and I am not sure why you are doing this:
...
+    //Modifiers
+    shiftDown = event.ShiftDown();
+    ctrlDown = event.ControlDown();
...

  Isn't it a bit dangerous to store modifiers. Are you sure that it
will work even after a OnLeave/OnEnter ? Why can't we check them again
from OnMouseWheelIdle, are they lost ?

Thanks,
-Mathieu

[wxVTK] Wheel mouse code update

I changed the wheel mouse code to accumulate wheelmouse events.  This makes

In our implementation we don't have capitalization issues (for the  
OnChar).
However, mind that we are currently only testing this against  
wxPython 2.8 and VTK 5.
So capitalization issues may be present with older wxWidgets/VTK  
versions.

Be careful here. Since we haven't tested against older wxWidgets/VTK  
versions you may break backward compatibility by including this patch.

  Wow ! That is fantastic, thank you so much for the patch !
  Can I ask just one quick question, about the OnKeyUp/OnChar thingy.
Did you notice that capital letter were being passed ?

  Patch will be merged tonight.

Re: [wxVTK] [vtkusers] Anyone using wxVTK wxVTKRenderWindowInteractor wxWidgets VTK class?

[Sander N. <nie...@st...>]

At our company we are currently using the wxVTK package.

We use wxWidgets/VTK for the development of an ESA-funded open-source  
application called VISAN (part of the BEAT toolbox: http:// 
www.stcorp.nl/beat).
The current public available version of VISAN uses some hand-crafted  
wxVTK bridge with Python bindings, but internally we have now moved  
to wxPython 2.8, VTK 5 and wxVTK (since we moved more stuff to C++  
and wanted to include support for Gtk2 and Mac OS X Carbon). We are  
now able to create working binaries for Windows, Linux (Gtk2), and  
Mac OS X (Carbon). A new release of VISAN with these changes is due  
in September.

In order to get things to work we had to patch the wxVTK sources.  
Attached you will find the patch that we used.
The primary change that we made in order to get wxVTK to work with  
wxWidgets 2.8 was to move back to using wxGLCanvas again (i.e. remove  
the '#if (!wxCHECK_VERSION(2, 8, 0))').

The timer warning is something we haven't seen. But we are using our  
own interactor styles for most of our visualisations anyway, so that  
may be the reason.

Re: [wxVTK] How can I build wxVTK with wxWidgets 2.8.4

[Mathieu M. <mat...@gm...>]

Hi Cem,


  Are you sure you read the README file ? It looks like you are mixing
static and shared in between your wxwidget build and vtk build. Please
check with the README file on what you should do.

Thanks

Re: [wxVTK] Conflicting declarations when compiling wxVTK examples

[Catherine P. <cep...@gm...>]

Mathieu,

You are correct, the version of GTK I was using differed from that
needed by wxWidgets.  I have corrected this issue and everything is
working.

Thank you,
Catherine

Because I am lazy/overbook I think there are still some patch in the
wxVTK CVS that are not in any release unfortunately.
That's weird, I thought that the timer thingy bug only appear after
VTK 5.0. But I did it from the top of my head.

Simply that VTK mimic typical behavior of such device. If you have
ever played games, you have two typical behavior either pointing the
joystick down will make you move down, and stop as soon as you
release. Or like in a plane you have to point down, and then point up
to stop the movement
(This is pretty badly explain, but I did my best, sorry. Hopefully you
did get the big picture).

Not that I know of. Anyone on the ML to comment on that ? I think most
people using wxVTK are from academic background.
Furthermore Kitware is now officially supporting Qt and KWWidget so
for a comapny I think it make more sense to use those toolkits (IMHO).

Please send patch ;)
As far as I remember the bug was non-trivial, or require patching wx
itself. I was hoping that wx 2.8.1 would include a fix (this already
happen in the past on the 2.4.x branch)/ wx people are not extremely
serious people, when dealing with backward compatiblity.

Noone complains, because wxVTK is bug free :-P

Ok then :)
You have to use either `locate` or `find` to find those commands.
Anyway my goal here is that I suspect you have a wx lib configured for
gtk2, but for some reason you have some gtk1.2. Who installed your
local version of wx windows (path indicate that it is in /usr/local),
which means you did not use your vendor package (debian, redhat).

Ouch !
Alright then:
* What is your version of cmake ?
* What is your version of wxwidget (see previous email) ?
* What is your version of gtk ?
* What gtk version is used for your wxwidget lib ?
* What is your distro (debian, redhat...) ?
* What version of wxVTK are you using ? If possible please take the
one from CVS.

If you do not understand the above questions, please go grab your
sysadmin. Or whoever installed your wxwidget lib in /usr/local.

Re: [wxVTK] Conflicting declarations when compiling wxVTK examples

[Catherine P. <cep...@gm...>]

Mathieu,

Thank you for the quick response.  I get the message "Command not
found." when I try to use those commands.

I did realize that my last e-mail neglected to mention that I
originally had issues finding PkgConfig.  I changed CMakeLists.txt so
it looks for GTK instead (as you instructed in response to Tim
Hutton's message to the mailing list entitled "[wxVTK] [CMake] CMake
error: PkgConfig" ), and am now getting the previous declaration
errors.

Hi Catherine,

  Can you send us the output of the following two commands:

$ wx-config --libs

Thanks

[wxVTK] Conflicting declarations when compiling wxVTK examples

[Catherine P. <cep...@gm...>]

Hello all,

I am a new user to wxVTKRenderWindowInteractor.  I generated a
makefile using ccmake without issues, but cannot get the example codes
provided with wxVTKRenderWindowInteractor to compile correctly.

I am getting the error messages:
In file included from /usr/include/gtk-1.2/gdk/gdkprivate.h:33,
                 from /usr/include/gtk-1.2/gdk/gdkx.h:30,
                 from wxVTKRenderWindowInteractor.cpp:54:

...and so on.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I can to to resolve these errors?

Thanks,
