Usage

vtkViewport provides an abstract specification for Viewports. A Viewport is an object that controls the rendering process for objects. Rendering is the process of converting geometry, a specification for lights, and a camera view into an image. vtkViewport also performs coordinate transformation between world coordinates, view coordinates (the computer graphics rendering coordinate system), and display coordinates (the actual screen coordinates on the display device). Certain advanced rendering features such as two-sided lighting can also be controlled.

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