<html><body style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; ">Hi,<div> Could you please help me narrow down, as to why using QGraphicsView with QWidget doesn't work? I just thought I'd try QVTKWidget in its original form and try to get to render the VTK scene alone in QVTKWidget that is held by a QGraphicsView. </div><div><br></div><div>This gives the identical blank white screen, as when I tried to use QVTKWidget inherited from QGLWidget. So, I need to first fix the case where a normal QVTKWidget inherited from QWidget will work.</div><div><br></div><div>I just need to host the original QVTKWidget within QGraphicsView, that's it. How can I do this? </div><div><br></div><div>The following code gives me a blank white screen.
