Difference between vtkView and vtkLocalView/vtkRemoteView

[pazars]

While most examples as well as the tutorial discuss the use of vtkLocalView and vtkRemoteView, there are examples like 06_vtk/Applications/SurfacePicking that use a different approach to setup the vtk pipeline with vtkView.

Is the vtkView intended for some specific use case? What are the advantages and disadvantages of using each approach?

As a quick answer you can think of:

• VtkLocalView and VtkRemoteView rely on VTK/C++ and some vtk.js for the client side.
• VtkView is just plain vtk.js which means you could create an app that does not involved VTK/C++ on the server side by driving the code more on the client side point of view.
