TVTK works fine with PyQt, though you may need the SVN version of VTK to get the latest PyQt support. PyQt support in ETS is a subset of the wx support - bits are ported as required on a commercial basis. > Another related question: > (Q2) Is there a way to embend VTK objects in PyQt GUI without > reinventing the wheel, i.e. with features similar to those of TVTK > (basic tools that one could put in a toolbar: rotation, zoom, > projections, ...)? I don't know, I've never used VTK/TVTK myself. Phil _______________________________________________ PyQt mailing list [email protected] http://www.riverbankcomputing.com/mailman/listinfo/pyqt
