[Paraview-developers] Axis title and range overrides

[Michael Reuter]

Hi,

     The axis title and axis range overrides as demoed by the sheared 
cube source have been incorporated into our plugins and are working 
nicely. There are just a few places where it would be nice to have this 
information used that do not currently pay attention to the overrides.

     Two places are in the new Slice View. The default X, Y and Z axis 
labels on the scale widgets should reflect the overrides if they are 
present. This will keep thing consistent with what the cube axes show. 
The second point is if the range overrides are used, the corresponding 
axis scale should reflect that. This way the axis scale on the cube axes 
and the view's axis scale widget will be consistent.

     The last place is editing the cube axes via the associated Edit 
button on the properties panel for the cube axes. When the dialog pops 
up, if the title overrides have been provided they do not show up in the 
associated Title edit box. Also, if the overrides are used, when I try 
an edit an axis title and click OK, the axis title it not updated to the 
requested one. Handling this maybe tricky (source update resets to 
default override), however the user will want the final say over the 
axis title over the lifetime of the source and they may not change all 
of axis titles as well.

     While I'm on the subject of axis titles (for the cube axes), are 
there any plans to extend the matplotlib rendering to axis titles? It 
looks really cool for all the other things that can support it.

Thanks,
M
