PyQt4 and VTK toolkit

>At fist I found the classes a little tough to get around but in the end they were quite easy. I meantioned what I had to do to get my installation of VTK working Here which worked but it isn't great, I still have to run a bash script to set my environment variables, and when I changed directorys I had to recompile, every thing...ev...ery...thing.

This is a version of cone.py found at Using VTK Through Python

And I "ported" this to PyQt4, really the navigation of the packages is a little brutal.

#!/usr/bin/env python
from PyQt4 import QtGui,QtCore
from vtk.qt4 import QVTKRenderWindowInteractor
import vtk
import sys

class ConeWindow(QVTKRenderWindowInteractor.QVTKRenderWindowInteractor):
    def __init__(self):
        QVTKRenderWindowInteractor.QVTKRenderWindowInteractor.__init__(self,None)
        self.render_window = self.GetRenderWindow()
        self.render_window.SetSize(300,300)
        self.vrenderer = vtk.vtkRenderer()
        self.render_window.AddRenderer(self.vrenderer)
        self.cone = vtk.vtkConeSource()
        self.cone.SetResolution(8)
        self.coneMapper = vtk.vtkPolyDataMapper()
        self.coneMapper.SetInput(self.cone.GetOutput())
        self.coneActor = vtk.vtkActor()
        self.coneActor.SetMapper(self.coneMapper)
        self.vrenderer.AddActor(self.coneActor)
        
if __name__=='__main__':       
    app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)
    widge = ConeWindow()
    widge.show()
    sys.exit(app.exec_())

and I will upload the .py file new_vtk.py

on to bigger and better things ...
