[vtkusers] How do I change color of vtkCubeAxesActor2D axes?

[Christopher M. Navarro]

Hi Maynard,

The vtkCubeAxesActor provides some methods to get at the pieces 
controlling the properties of the object.  For instance, you can change 
the color of the axes by doing:

axesActor->GetProperty()->SetColor(0.0, 0.0, 0.0);

You can access the text properties similarly with:

axesActor->GetAxisLabelTextProperty()->SetColor(...);

You will need to look at the vtk documentation to see what methods are 
available and then look at the returned objects documentation...for 
instance the GetAxisLabelTextProperty returns a vtkTextProperty so you 
will need to find out what methods that object has available, and so 
forth.  Hope that helps.

regards,

chris
