[vtkusers] Dynamic creation of VTK objects in Tcl

[Andy Cedilnik]

Hi Magnus,

What about this:

proc CreateMapper { } {
  vtkMapper m
  return m
}
proc CreateActor { } {
  vtkActor a
  return a
}

set actor [ CreateActor ]
set mapper [ CreateMapper ]

$actor SetMapper $mapper

Then you could say something like:

proc Create { type } {
  vtk$type t
  return t
}

set ob1 [ Create "Mapper" ]
set ob2 [ Create "Actor" ]

$ob2 SetMapper $ob1

Looks good?
