Methods

Method(s)	Description
createAndInitialize static	Creates and initializes the vtk support module. Call this before importing vtk and doing any vtk or omegalib operation.

Notes

VtkModule must be initialized BEFORE importing vtk. This is some typical initialization code for an omegalib/vtk app:

	# Import omegalib modules
	from omega import *
	from omegaToolkit import *
	from omegaVtk import *
	
	# Initialize vtk module
	vtkModule = VtkModule.createAndInitialize()

	# Import vtk stuff
	import vtk
	
	# Omegalib / vtk code goes here...
