Take a look at the dm_demo program, it is setup to handle special widgets for kdtree based scenes. You can write a simple gui in fox, and then add it to the options menu.

For example:

manta_window.addExtraOptionsDialog( "Stereo", new FMantaStereoDialog( &manta_window, "Stereo" ));


Make a copy of the dm_demo.cc program, and modify it to contain your control widget (probably copy the stereo camera widget or one of the other controls in the options menu). Just place it in something like fox/your_demo and link it to manta and the FManta libraries, it won't interfere with anything and it'll be part of the trunk.

There might be a python solution, but I don't know what it is.

What would be the easiest/fastest way to write an interface for Manta that lets us:

(1) change isovalues
(2) begin/stop animation of time-variant data
(3) doesn't interfere with the rest of Manta (i.e. doesn't have to be hacked into a separate branch
due to ugliness)

I'm hoping to get a video out for my paper before July 7, so this has to be working soon. Any ideas, or am I screwed?

Thanks guys,
