title: Embedding PCL Viewer on a Qt GUI Main Window
body: <p>I am trying to develop a user interface using QtCreator on a Windows 7 64-bit machine. This user interface will be deployed on a 32-bit Windows 7 machine, and will control a projector and a camera for a structured-light application. For reasons beyond my control (compatibility with camera and projector's APIs), I will use the MS VS 2010 32bit compiler for this. After a couple of weeks trying to have everything I need working together (Qt 4.8.4, QtCreator and Point Cloud Library), I am now facing a slight problem.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way that I can embed the PCL Point Cloud Viewer inside my main Qt GUI window? The problem is that when I use the PCL viewer, it brings up a separate window. I want this window to be embedded inside my main window, and I want to still be able to interact with it (rotate, pan, zoom, etc.).</p>
  
  <p>As you may be able to tell from my post, I am a newbie on Qt/PCL/etc., so any example with minimal code to do this would be greatly appreciated. I have done weeks of research on this and I have not been able to find a solution, although I get the impression that a Qt Widget might be the way to go.</p>
