WXPython + VTK [ Controls as overlay]

wxPython Users

Hello everyone,
I am trying to render something using VTK and have WxPython controls as an overlay, on top of the VTK rendered image. What i have attempted is to create two child panels. One for rendering and another for GUI controls. I am facing painting issues. What would be the right approach for this requirement.

vtkmodules.wx :thinking:

Thanks for the reply. I am already using vtkmodules.wx for my implementation. The challenge is not about integrating wxpython and vtk, but showing the controls on top of VTK rendered image.

well, there seems to be a conceptual misunderstanding of what should be achieved & being a wee bit more specific (what controls, etc) may help :flushed:

well, I beg your pardon if I’m slow but recently I played around with an overlay over a basic application frame for manipulation
may be it’s more what you are after? :melting_face:

Have you considered using a floating window on top of your VTK window to hold your GUI controls? I don’t think it’s a good idea to attempt to draw wxPython widgets on top of a VTK window…
