ViewNode

Introduction

a node within a VTK scene graph

This is the superclass for all nodes within a VTK scene graph. It contains
the API for a node. It supports the essential operations such as graph
creation, state storage and traversal. Child classes adapt this to VTK’s
major rendering classes. Grandchild classes adapt those to for APIs of
different rendering libraries.
