[vtk-developers] new vtkTextActor class and slight mapperchanges

[Sebastien BARRE]

Hi John

I just find out that the new vtkTextActor duplicates the vtkTextMapper API.
I mean, it propagates SetBold, SetItalic, and most of the mapper API to its 
internal text mapper.

This means that now this API has to be maintained in *both* the textmapper 
and textactor.
In the long run, this might introduce a risk that they run out of sync. 
Painful.

Can you please get rid of these "forwarders"and provide a method to get the 
mapper from the actor. Let's use the mapper API to do the usual stuff.

Thanks.
