Printing vtkScalarActor

[Hugues Wisniewski]

Hello,

In fact I do exactly the same thing described in the book "VTK User's Guide", on page 137, and it
works fine, the example is scalarBar.tcl.
I don't know if SetPosition(x,y) works correctly, but instead of calling this method, I use :

float fX=0.1, fY=0.01, fWidth=0.8, fHeight=0.17;

pScalarBarActor->GetPositionCoordinate()->SetCoordinateSystemToNormalizedViewport();
pScalarBarActor->GetPositionCoordinate()->SetValue(fX, fY);
pScalarBarActor->SetOrientationToHorizontal();
pScalarBarActor->SetWidth(fWidth);
pScalarBarActor->SetHeight(fHeight);

where fY, fY, fWidth, and fHeight are between 0. and 1.
