[IGSTK-Developers] RE: first example application using IGSTK: need your review help

[Bitter, Ingmar (NIH/CC/DRD)]

Hi Kevin,

I just returned from my Christmas vacation and had already left when you
send the email below. I have a paper to submit by Monday and a presentation
on Tuesday. So I can only make time later next week to look at the code and
documentation. Is that still ok?

Ingmar, Ivo:

First of all, happy holidays to both of you.

I need to ask you a favor. 

We have completed the first demo application program using IGSTK and we
would like to ask you to review the code as an outside expert.

Both of you were selected based on your interest in the project and
familiarity with our work.

The instructions are below my signature. The application is a simple one -
it demonstrates a. embedding a VTK window into an FLTK window, and b.
interaction with a mouse used as a tracker.

If possible, we would like to get your comments by January 5th so that we
can review them at our next teleconference on January 6th. 

Thanks very much for your help and I hope this does not take too much of
your time.

Regards

Kevin

P.S. to Luis: very nice job on the instructions for building IGSTK - this
looks very good to me!

We would appreciate if you could review the 

a. current IGstk library code, and 
b. a demo application developed using IGstk. A description of the 
   example application and implementation details may be seen at

   http://public.kitware.com/IGSTKWIKI/index.php/Mouse_tracking_Sphere

In order to keep IGstk robust and tractable, we manage two repositories:

a. an IGstk repository containing code which form the current IGstk, and

b. a Sandbox repository, which containes code which are needed for 
   immediate use. This code may be made part of IGstk at a later 
   stage, or removed.

The directions for obtaining the code, and building up IGstk library and the
demo application may be seen at

For any further details or clarifications, or reporting an error, please do
not hesistate to contact Sohan at srranjan at ieee.org.
