VTK 6.1 mex demo incl. complete tutorial for installation of VTK 6.1 under Windows
contains a demo .cpp file which uses VTK (to draw a line) and a function to generate and run it as mex file, quick and dirty ;-)
i use vtk 6.1 and windows 8 64 bit.
i had problems to find and link the needed vtk *.lib files, so the function links all files from vtk/lib automatically. eventually you have to conform your vtk/lib path in my function file.
call function with: VTKLoadLibraries('testfile.cpp');

I added a complete tutorial for installation of VTK 6.1 under Windows 64 bit. It starts with generating the binaries with CMake and ends with generating and executing a mex testfile in Matlab. I hope, someone will find it usefull. I wasted a week until everything worked on my system and it was very hard to remember every step i tried until it worked. ^^
