VTK 8.0.1 + VS2015 配置过程（CMake）

1. 原材料

 1.1 VTK 最新 Release 文件包 https://www.vtk.org/download/ 1.2 CMake 最新 Release 安装包 https://cmake.org/download/ 1.3 Visual Studio 2015 https://msdn.itellyou.cn/ （社区版足矣，还不用序列号）

2. 配置流程

2.1 打开 CMake !

2.2 选择文件路径 !

首先把下载好的源码解压放在你喜欢的目录下，这个 source code 就是你喜欢的目录，
注意一定要对应你有 CMakeLists.txt 文件的目录下，外面包了多少层没关系，你要让 CMake
看到这个文件他才知道要干什么。第二个 build 目录就是配置好的工程文件存放的地址，
自己找个喜欢的地方放都没问题。这里我就是自己建了新的文件夹。

2.3 Configure ，第一次点击该按钮 !

出现下面这个界面，选择你的编译器版本，我这里肯定是VS2015了。

完事后，你的 CMake 界面应该出现了一片红，不要害怕，继续 Configure。

下面我要选择一些针对性的组件。这一步骤你可以根据自己项目的实际情况来进行勾选，我主要基于MFC开发程序，所以必须要包含MFC的库，我还想看看例子，所以直接把例子一起配置，最后，我想输出的库文件在我指定的文件夹下。

BUILD - EXAMPLES

Module - XXXMFC

CMake - INSTALL_PREFIX

2.4 Configure ，第二次点击该按钮，然后 Generate 吧！

配置完成后，就可以生成工程文件了。

2.5 Open Project ！

打开工程，进入VS2015的界面。

在 ALL_BUILD 上右键点击重新生成，等一会让程序飞一会……
很幸运，一个错没有，全部顺利生成了，我是 WIN10 系统。

2.6 Install ！

下面就是生成实际需要使用的库了

在 INSTALL 右键设为启动项目然后重新生成就好了，静静等待 lib 和 dll 的到来……

3. 测试一下例子

激动人心的时刻来了，看看例子能不能跑起来呢？
由于之前我们已经 BUILD 了例子，所以在 BIN 目录下已经有生成好的例子工程文件在等着我们了，我在这里选择了
Examples\Tutorial\Step6\ 的例子作为测试。
首先直接打开例子的工程运行一下，看看跑不跑的起来，结果蹦出这个。

不要紧，这个问题我们先放一放，看起来好像直接运行需要远程调试器，那么我们先试试新建一个工程能不能运行示例代码。
新建一个普通的 WIN32 控制台工程，把上面这个例子的代码拷贝进去。

A renderer is like a  // viewport. It is part or all of a window on the screen and it is  // responsible for drawing the actors it has.  We also set the background  // color here.  //  vtkRenderer *ren1= vtkRenderer::New();  ren1->AddActor( coneActor );  ren1->SetBackground( 0.1, 0.2, 0.4 );  //  // Finally we create the render window which will show up on the screen.  // We put our renderer into the render window using AddRenderer. We also  // set the size to be 300 pixels by 300.  //  vtkRenderWindow *renWin = vtkRenderWindow::New();  renWin->AddRenderer( ren1 );  renWin->SetSize( 300, 300 );  //  // The vtkRenderWindowInteractor class watches for events (e.g., keypress,  // mouse) in the vtkRenderWindow. These events are translated into  // event invocations that VTK understands (see VTK/Common/vtkCommand.h  // for all events that VTK processes). Then observers of these VTK  // events can process them as appropriate.  vtkRenderWindowInteractor *iren = vtkRenderWindowInteractor::New();  iren->SetRenderWindow(renWin);  //  // By default the vtkRenderWindowInteractor instantiates an instance  // of vtkInteractorStyle. vtkInteractorStyle translates a set of events  // it observes into operations on the camera, actors, and/or properties  // in the vtkRenderWindow associated with the vtkRenderWinodwInteractor.  // Here we specify a particular interactor style.  vtkInteractorStyleTrackballCamera *style =    vtkInteractorStyleTrackballCamera::New();  iren->SetInteractorStyle(style);  //  // Here we use a vtkBoxWidget to transform the underlying coneActor (by  // manipulating its transformation matrix).

The place factor  // controls the initial size of the widget with respect to the bounding box  // of the input to the widget.  vtkBoxWidget *boxWidget = vtkBoxWidget::New();  boxWidget->SetInteractor(iren);  boxWidget->SetPlaceFactor(1.25);  //  // Place the interactor initially. The input to a 3D widget is used to  // initially position and scale the widget. The EndInteractionEvent is  // observed which invokes the SelectPolygons callback.  //  boxWidget->SetProp3D(coneActor);  boxWidget->PlaceWidget();  vtkMyCallback *callback = vtkMyCallback::New();  boxWidget->AddObserver(vtkCommand::InteractionEvent, callback);  //  // Normally the user presses the "i" key to bring a 3D widget to life. Here  // we will manually enable it so it appears with the cone.  //  boxWidget->On();  //  // Start the event loop.  //  iren->Initialize();  iren->Start();  //  // Free up any objects we created. All instances in VTK are deleted by  // using the Delete() method.  //  cone->Delete();  coneMapper->Delete();  coneActor->Delete();  callback->Delete();  boxWidget->Delete();  ren1->Delete();  renWin->Delete();  iren->Delete();  style->Delete();  return 0;}

不用说，这时候程序肯定是一堆红线了，因为没有配置环境。
网上大多文章都是说 CMake 配置，这是有道理的，我也在这摔了一跤，好在我很快爬起来了，我相信很多人跟我一样是对 CMake 不那么熟练的，那么下面看看我们如何不用 CMake 也能跑起来这个例子吧。

建好工程随便起个名字建个CPP文件把上面的例子代码黏贴进去。
这时候我们还需要配置 .h .lib .dll 这三个东西，这三项已经在我们之前的 OUT 文件夹中了，只要在项目属性中配置路径。
项目属性-VC++目录-包含目录–找到你输出的 include 文件夹路径，添加进去，红线都没了，这时候还运行不了，链接器-常规-附加库目录–找到你之前的 lib 文件夹路径，添加进去，这一步你只是告诉系统，还有这些地方存放了一些额外的lib，但是系统并不知道你要用哪些，所以还得告诉系统，你要用哪些 lib。链接器-输入-附加依赖项–把你这个lib文件夹下的所有lib名字全输进去吧，一个一个输？当然没这么麻烦

在lib文件夹下新建一个文本文档，把下面的语句放进去，保存，改后缀名为 bat，双击，看看是不是多了一个 LIBLIST.txt 文件，把里面的内容全复制，拷贝到附加依赖项中。

DIR *.lib /B >LIBLIST.TXT

关键的三行代码

#include <vtkAutoInit.h>VTK_MODULE_INIT(vtkRenderingOpenGL2);VTK_MODULE_INIT(vtkInteractionStyle);
