[vtkusers] Problems with vtkVectorText and vtkFollower in Java

[Carlos Martínez Burgos]

Hi all.

I try to do a grid plane using vtkPlaneSource. I have to put some legend. 
At first I had tried to include a vtkCubeAxisActor2D but its behaviour is 
not as I want. I want to assign a number/leter to each axis of the grid. 
This shows it:

   A B C
  +-+-+-+
1 | | | |
  +-+-+-+
2 | | | |
  +-+-+-+
3 | | | |
  +-+-+-+

I have tried to use vtkVectorText and vtkFollower but nothing is showed. 
I'm using the Java wrapper. If I run the Tcl sample programs the text is 
showed. Even then when I do a "zoom extent" to show all the objects on the 
renderer, it seems that the actor is there because the extent is bigger 
that when I don't add the actor.

I have tried not using vtkFollower and I have got the same result.

I have tried other text objects (vtkTextActor) and nothing changes.

This seems there is a problem with texts in Java. Perhaps is because I use 
Linux. Have you got good results in Windows?

I wish to know if somebody is using java and has got good results showing 
texts in Linux.

Thanks.
