[Paraview] Cube axes label format

Mon May 6 10:58:40 EDT 2013

Hi

Felipe: Thanks for the suggestion. I had thought of this but it means I
would have to go through all my data and make these changes. This is a last
resort...

Sebastien: I have little experience with VTK it self, but I found that
vtkCubeAxesActor has the set*LabelFormat (where * is x,y or z) which are
exposed in the Python bindings. I have been playing with an example of a
VTK python script, where I have been able setup a problem with similar
dimension and changed the label Y to include a the additional number at the
end (code in attachment). I used SetYLabelFormat method of the
vtkCubeAxesActor to do this. However, I would ultimately like to be able to
have the exponent used to condense the label of all the axes the same, both
10³ instead of x as 10³ but y as 10⁶. Is it possible to control that
functionality in VTK?

As far as I can see some connection to the vtkCubeAxesActor.Set*LabelFormat
from Paraview is what I would need. What is the best way to do this?

Thanks for the help,
Gudni
