cone2.java

a very goog book

//
// This example shows how to add an observer to a Java program. It extends
// the Step1/Java/Cone.java Java 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.
//
//
// Show how to add an observer to the Cone example
//

// we import the vtk wrapped classes forst
import vtk.*;

// then we define our class
public class Cone2 {
  // in the static contructor we load in the native code
  // The libraries must be in your path to work
  static { 
    System.loadLibrary("vtkCommonJava"); 
    System.loadLibrary("vtkFilteringJava"); 
    System.loadLibrary("vtkIOJava"); 
    System.loadLibrary("vtkImagingJava"); 
    System.loadLibrary("vtkGraphicsJava"); 
    System.loadLibrary("vtkRenderingJava"); 
  }

  // Define the callback
  public void myCallback()
  {
    System.out.println("Starting a render");
  }

  // now the main program
  public static void main (String []args) {
    //
    // Now we create the pipeline as usual, see Cone.java in Step1 for details
    //
