== Possible vtkXIPActor (or vtkOpenInventorActor) ==

=== Proof of Concept ===
* A link between vtk and xip could be done by following the example of the [http://www.slicer.org/slicerWiki/index.php/Slicer3:Python:ScriptedActor vtkOpenGLScriptedActor]. In this example:
** vtk sets up the rendering context as it normally does during a call to the Render() method on a vtkOpenGLRenderWindow
** the actor's Render() method is responsible for calling the OpenGL API (in this case using PyOpenGL.
* It should be possible to encapsulate OpenInventor scene graphs inside a similar structure.

===Open issues ===
* Mapping vtk events into OpenInventor events so that it is possible to interact with the XIP scene
* Mapping xip inputs (like volume data) generically to a "Set*" methods on the vtk object.

=== Possible Usage ===

vtkXIPActor *xipActor = vtkXIPActor::New();
xipActor->SetSceneGraph("XIPSampleScene.iv");
renderer->AddActor(xipActor);
renderWindow->Render();
