Hi all.

I have a question about vtkContextView.

- environment  
SDK: VTK 8.9  
IDE: Visual Studio 2015  
OS: Windows 7 x64

I want to run the Line plot sample code.

But the compiler can’t find vtkContextView header file.  
 ![vtkContextView%20header](https://discourse.vtk.org/uploads/default/original/1X/f0043e2bd42305a4f7dcf6a3d4d053c2569e072d.png)

I think my generated library files(include, bin, lib) via CMake has no problem, because of other sample code work well.  
GitLab link: [https://gitlab.kitware.com/vtk/vtk](https://gitlab.kitware.com/vtk/vtk)

Could you please help me?

Thank you 🙂

Hi Kim,

The header is in:  
Views/Context2D

Also make sure you enable ViewsContext2D module when you compile VTK.
