VTK Examples Python Animation - KitwarePublic

This Python script uses VTK to animate a sphere moving across the scene. A timer callback method is used to increment the sphere's position each frame. The renderer, window, and interactor are set up to display the scene. The timer is started to trigger the callback and animate the sphere moving.
