Eclipse configuration

Pre-requisite

  • A compiled version of VTK with the Java Wrapping for your operating system
    • You can get some from the Cassandra package.
  • A Java Virtual Machine 1.5.x or 1.6.x for our VTK 5 or 1.4.x for our VTK 4.2
  • Eclipse 3.2

Eclipse environment

Add vtk.jar in your classpath

Create a launch configuration

You need to set a system property in order to point to the VTK c++ library

  • On windows, you need to specify the PATH to the VTK .dll files.
  • On linux, you need to specify the LD_LIBRARY_PATH to the VTK .so files.
  • On OS X, you need to specify the DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH to the VTK .dylib files.

The result of the following code

import java.awt.BorderLayout;

import javax.swing.JFrame;

import vtk.vtkActor; import vtk.vtkConeSource; import vtk.vtkPanel; import vtk.vtkPolyDataMapper;

/** * @author Sebastien Jourdain / Artenum */

public class VTKSample {

public static void main(String[] args) { // Build the VTK 3D view // (Should be done before using any vtk // object or load the native // library first) vtkPanel panel3D = new vtkPanel();

// Build a simple VTK pipeline vtkConeSource coneSource = new vtkConeSource(); coneSource.SetRadius(2); coneSource.SetAngle(15); coneSource.SetHeight(2); coneSource.SetResolution(10);

vtkPolyDataMapper coneMapper = new vtkPolyDataMapper(); coneMapper.SetInput(coneSource.GetOutput());

vtkActor coneActor = new vtkActor(); coneActor.SetMapper(coneMapper);

// Add actor in 3D Panel panel3D.GetRenderer().AddActor(coneActor);

// Build Java Frame and include the VTK view JFrame frame = new JFrame("Artenum Demo"); frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE); frame.getContentPane().setLayout(new BorderLayout()); frame.getContentPane().add(panel3D, BorderLayout.CENTER); frame.setSize(500, 500); frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null); // Center on desktop frame.setVisible(true); } }
