vtkRenderWindow

Section: Visualization Toolkit Rendering Classes

Usage

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.

To create an instance of class vtkRenderWindow, simply invoke its constructor as follows

  obj = vtkRenderWindow
