I found this thread that may be of interest: http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=170&message.id=10219&requireLogin=False Embedding it into a front panel may be possible if Python supports ActiveX. Do you know if it does?

HI

Thanks for the thread, but I am using the Python script that mainly has VTK and output for my program is a 3D model presented in vtk window. The thread provides examples that mainly pass strings. 

Now I would like to know if it is possible to open this vtk window in labview or even as a separate floating window (since the window gets closed after the python program is finished)

Thanking you

Shri

I see, apologies for getting the wrong end of the stick. I have no experience with VTK and the only thread I can find on this is: http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=170&message.id=65205&requireLogin=False but there isn't much info in there.
