[vtkusers] VTK and stereo

[Alin M Elena]

Hi 

I try to hack molekel (http://molekel.cscs.ch) to render stereo .
Found the place where the window is created and added the stereo activation 
options for window.

  /// QVTKWidget
    // widget
    vtkWidget_ = new QVTKWidget( this );
    vtkWidget_->setObjectName( "QVTKWidget" );
    vtkWidget_->setAccessibleName( vtkWidget_->objectName() );
    setCentralWidget( vtkWidget_ );
    // render window    
    vtkRenderWindow_ = vtkRenderWindow::New();

#if VTK_MAJOR_VERSION > 5 || ( VTK_MAJOR_VERSION == 5 &&
VTK_MINOR_VERSION > 0 )       
    vtkRenderWindow_->SetMultiSamples( 1 );
#endif    
    
    vtkRenderWindow_->SetAlphaBitPlanes( 1 );
    vtkRenderWindow_->StereoCapableWindowOn();
    vtkRenderWindow_->SetStereoTypeToCrystalEyes();
    vtkRenderWindow_->StereoRenderOn();


    // renderer
    vtkRenderer_ = vtkRenderer::New();
    vtkRenderWindow_->AddRenderer( vtkRenderer_ );
    // DO NOT DO THIS:  vtkRenderWindow_ = vtkWidget_->GetRenderWindow();
    // a new vtkRenderWindow is created each time
QVTKWidget::GetRenderWindow() is
    // invoked!
    vtkWidget_->SetRenderWindow( vtkRenderWindow_ );
    

However I get the bounding box which is stereo rendered but not the object in 
it.

The VTK is built with stereo support and tested it with visit and paraview and 
it work fine.

Any hints?

regards,

Alin
