Observer Timer Event Examples

Support

Hey all,

I’m looking to use a timer event to run a function and I’m looking for an example. I’m on python 3.10.11 and vtk 9.3.0. Any snippets or examples would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Hello @cam

Yes, you can do this in python using VTK interactors. I understand you want a Python example, but this should help you. Here is a C++ example - https://examples.vtk.org/site/Cxx/Utilities/Timer/ that shows how to create a timer callback function that observes timer events. You can easily convert that observer portion from C++ to python by following this guide - https://examples.vtk.org/site/Python/Interaction/CallBack/#python
