// This example shows how to add an observer to a C++ program. It extends
// the Step1/Cxx/Cone.cxx C++ example (see that example for information on
// the basic setup). 
//
// VTK uses a command/observer design pattern. That is, observers watch for
// particular events that any vtkObject (or subclass) may invoke on
// itself. For example, the vtkRenderer invokes a "StartEvent" as it begins
// to render. Here we add an observer that invokes a command when this event
// is observed.
//

// first include the required header files for the vtk classes we are using
#include "vtkConeSource.h"
#include "vtkPolyDataMapper.h"
#include "vtkRenderWindow.h"
#include "vtkCommand.h"
#include "vtkCamera.h"
#include "vtkActor.h"
#include "vtkRenderer.h"

// Callback for the interaction

           << renderer->GetActiveCamera()->GetPosition()[1] << " "
           << renderer->GetActiveCamera()->GetPosition()[2] << "\n";
