[vtkusers] Light in vtkPanel

[Richard.Bridge at tessella.com]

Are you setting the ambient property on your actors?

eg.
anActor.GetProperty().SetAmbient(0.25);

And then setting the ambient on the vtkPanel...

aPanel.GetRenderer().SetAmbient(2.0,2.0,2.0);

I found these settings improved the situation quite a lot.

Hello,

my added objects in a vtkPanel are too bright and the surface of the
objects
is not identifyable. I tried already with vtkProperty and Diffuse and
Ambient as someone mentioned before, but it didn't worked. I also tried to
SwitchOff() the light in vtkPanel but no difference.

I added a pic so you can see what I mean.

Thanks in advance
~Jan
