VTK using on wayland

Development
1

Hello everyone,

I’m new to VTK and I’m encountering an issue when trying to render CylinderExample

my embedded environment is: wayland with EGL

so I rebuild VTK 9.1.0 source code with these options

  1. VTK_USE_X=OFF
  2. VTK_OPENGL_HAS_EGL=ON
  3. VTK_OPENGL_USE_GLES=ON
  4. VTK_GROUP_ENABLE_Rendering=YES

but I got these error below:

Can you try vtk 9.4.0 instead with only VTK_USE_X=OFF option? https://gitlab.kitware.com/vtk/vtk/-/tree/v9.4.0.rc3?ref_type=tags

What GPU is used in your environment? Can you run eglinfo successfully and show the output?

@jaswantp I have a question!!

Does VTK only support offscreen rendering with the option VTK_OPENGL_HAS_EGL=ON ?
which means if my system only have EGL, I can only get the “static images” not the “interactive windows”?

5

The VTK EGL integration supports interactive windows only on Android. On all other platforms, it renders to an offscreen buffer. Although, the implementation can be updated to do onscreen rendering with EGL on desktop. It is actually quite simple to do it. So far, there has been no interest from our existing customers. If you’d like this feature in VTK, don’t hesitate to contact Kitware to get it done!

6

@jaswantp No wonder!!

I did a simple test.

  1. Set Ubuntu 22.04 to use wayland

  2. downloaded the VTK 9.1.0 source code and built it with the VTK_USE_X=OFF and VTK_OPENGL_HAS_EGL=ON options ( I believe the apt install vtk9 package is built with VTK_USE_X=ON and VTK_OPENGL_HAS_EGL=OFF options )

  3. Built a modified version of the Cylinder Example, adding the following module initialization lines to the code:

    VTK_MODULE_INIT(vtkInteractionStyle);
VTK_MODULE_INIT(vtkRenderingContextOpenGL2);
VTK_MODULE_INIT(vtkRenderingFreeType);
VTK_MODULE_INIT(vtkRenderingOpenGL2);

    The example was compiled using the following command:

    g++ Cylinder.cxx -o Cylinder -I<path-to-my-vtk-header> -L<path-to-my-vtk-library> -Wl,-rpath-link <path-to-my-vtk-library> -Wl,-rpath <path-to-my-vtk-library> -lvtkCommonColor-9.1 -lvtkCommonCore-9.1 -lvtkFiltersSources-9.1 -lvtkInteractionStyle-9.1 -lvtkRenderingContextOpenGL2-9.1 -lvtkRenderingCore-9.1 -lvtkRenderingFreeType-9.1 -lvtkRenderingOpenGL2-9.1 -lvtkCommonExecutionModel-9.1

  4. Finally, ran the Cylinder program, but it exited immediately without stopping at renderWindowInteractor->Start() and showing an interactive window. :joy:

The above is just the testing scenario. However, my actual environment is a Wayland-based system running on an AM62xx SoC ( which might not be recognized as Android ). What workarounds can I use to make this work?

7

@jaswantp First of all, thanks for your help!!

I’m still conducting the simple test on Ubuntu 22.04 in Wayland mode. When I followed your suggestion (using v9.4.0.rc3), I encountered the same result:

Running the Cylinder program results in an immediate exit without stopping at renderWindowInteractor->Start() or displaying an interactive window.

VTK doesn’t support wayland like that.

Instead, you can install xwayland and run VTK using X interactors.

9

@jaswantp How to do that, I want to do a simple feasibility analysis, because my environment cannot use GLX or anything X related

10

We would like to thank @jaswantp for the help.

Our company’s products heavily rely on VTK. We are very interested in this feature. If you could provide what you refer to as a simple implementation for “on-screen rendering with EGL,” it would be greatly appreciated.

It doesn’t need to be fully complete; just a feasible implementation will suffice. Our company will then propose a collaboration with Kitware.

EGL_GLES.patch (3.5 KB)
This is my initial modification, but it didn’t work.

Hi @CHENG-HSUAN

While I understand your request and concerns, a partial implementation is not the correct approach because there are many moving parts here. As you have found out with your patch, the current vtkEGLRenderWindow won’t work with wayland since it does not have mechanism to use a wayland surface object which is required to correctly invoke eglCreateWindowSurface. In principle, this could be an X display/Wayland surface/Win32 HDC. The main area that needs work is to adapt vtkEGLRenderWindow to initialize from native window handles.

From my understanding, it looks like your broader objective is to get VTK applications to use native wayland (not xwayland/X). In this case, I propose extending the vtkEGLRenderWindow for onscreen rendering. There are two items that need worked on:

  1. Adapt the vtkEGLRenderWindow to initialize EGL context using a wayland surface. Basic samples here - EGL with Wayland give an idea of the API this class will use.
  2. Create a new vtkWaylandRenderWindowInteractor for user interaction on wayland. There is no VTK interactor for wayland. The Cylinder example program exited immediately because the default interactor was in use whose Start() method doesn’t do anything.

In case you want to play with something and get it to render onscreen for wayland without interaction, add these lines before you call eglCreateWindowSurface. This code is not tested and you will need to do some refactoring, like move the handlers in an internals class and declare the new member variables in the vtkInternals class. I mostly cribbed the code from other wayland-egl samples. Think of it as a teaser on the necessary plumbing.

  // Define static handler functions in global namespace and remove static.
  static void global_registry_handler(
    void* data, struct wl_registry* registry, uint32_t id, const char* interface, uint32_t version)
  {
    printf("Got a registry event for %s id %d\n", interface, id);
    if (strcmp(interface, "wl_compositor") == 0)
    {
      compositor = wl_registry_bind(registry, id, &wl_compositor_interface, 1);
    }
    else if (strcmp(interface, "wl_shell") == 0)
    {
      shell = wl_registry_bind(registry, id, &wl_shell_interface, 1);
    }
  }

  static void global_registry_remover(void* data, struct wl_registry* registry, uint32_t id)
  {
    printf("Got a registry losing event for %d\n", id);
  }

  static const struct wl_registry_listener registry_listener = { global_registry_handler,
    global_registry_remover };
  // Init the NativeDisplay and Display before eglInitialize.
  impl->NativeWaylandDisplay = wl_display_connect(NULL);
  if (impl->NativeWaylandDisplay == NULL)
  {
    fprintf(stderr, "Can't connect to display\n");
    exit(1);
  }
  impl->Display = eglGetDisplay((EGLNativeDisplayType)impl->NativeWaylandDisplay);

  struct wl_registry* registry = wl_display_get_registry(impl->NativeWaylandDisplay);
  wl_registry_add_listener(registry, &registry_listener, NULL);

  wl_display_dispatch(impl->NativeWaylandDisplay);
  wl_display_roundtrip(impl->NativeWaylandDisplay);

  if (impl->WaylandCompositor == NULL || impl->WaylandShell == NULL)
  {
    fprintf(stderr, "Can't find compositor or shell\n");
    exit(1);
  }
  else
  {
    fprintf(stderr, "Found compositor and shell\n");
  }
  impl->WaylandSurface = wl_compositor_create_surface(impl->WaylandCompositor);
  if (impl->WaylandSurface == NULL)
  {
    fprintf(stderr, "Can't create surface\n");
    exit(1);
  }
  else
  {
    fprintf(stderr, "Created surface\n");
  }

  impl->WaylandShellSurface = wl_shell_get_shell_surface(impl->WaylandShell, surface);
  wl_shell_surface_set_toplevel(impl->WaylandShellSurface);
  impl->Window = wl_egl_window_create(impl->Surface, this->Size[0], this->Size[1]);

  if (impl->Window == EGL_NO_SURFACE)
  {
    fprintf(stderr, "Can't create egl window\n");
    exit(1);
  }
  else
  {
    fprintf(stderr, "Created egl window\n");
  }
