[wxPython] wxVTKRenderWindow freezes at any resize operation

Hi,

I switched to version 2.3.2.1 with Python 2.1.1 somewhere in the
developing process of my program. While testing the prog I had to
realize with horror that all wxVTKRenderWindows are crashing the program
when beeing resized (mouse of maximize button). Even the old versions that
worked
well some weeks ago. Is there any known bug regarding this problem ?

Thanks
Marcus

The wxVTKRenderWindow that comes with VTK tends to yield much better
results. At the moment, I'm using the wxVTKRenderWindow that's part of the
VTK 4.1 CVS checkout without a hitch.

Maybe Robin should integrate it into the wxPython distribution?

I didn't know it was in the VTK dist now... Perhaps since I don't have the
time or the full understanding of VTK to be able to maintian it I should
just remove it from the wxPython dist. Thoughts?

Is there a wxVTKRenderWindow supplied in the VTK4.0 distribution?

If wxVTKRenderWindow is to become a permanent part of the VTK
distribution (I hope it is!), then I don't see the need for duplication
in wxPython. More importantly, I think having two different
implementations of basicly the same thing is a bad thing.

I've been unable to get the wxPython version to work with wxGTK >= 2.3.2
at all. The way it locks up my X server suggest a nasty low-level
problem. It would be nice to understand the problem though, as it might
reveal a bug in wxGTK, VTK or even X. I'm about to try out the VTK CVS
version...

The class in VTK was independently created as far as I can see. It might be
prudent if your time is limited to include a pointer to the VTK version
instead of the class which is currently in wxPython.

If you would like to take a look at the code, I could always make it
available somewhere.

Best regards,
Charl

AFAICS, not. I've only been able to check the 4.0 installation of a
colleague, so I might be mistaken. However, it should pose no problems to
use the VTK 4.1 CVS wxVTKRenderWindowInteractor with the vtk 4.0 distribution.

I just copied the VTK wxVTKRenderWindow.py file from VTK4.1 CVS and
stuck it into my VTK4.0 installation and it worked "out the bag" with
the latest wxGTK and wxPython. Hurrah!

thanks all.

Just took a look, very nice. Mine is now gone, without even a bit of
remorse!
