[vtkusers] vtkAssembly bug or problem ?!

[Malcolm Drummond]

Hi

I like the way it works right now - ie. visible ON enables the visibility as
set individually for each part, OFF makes the whole assembly invisible. It
seems logical to me, how else would we be able to control visibility of
parts?

Please, please don't change it, I have lots of code that depends on this
behaviour ;)

Hi,

I just discovered the world of vtkAssembly and I ran over
some problems. I create an actor and disable the visibility.
I add it to the assembly and enable the assembly. But the
actor is still not visible.

pvtkActor->VisibilityOff();
pvtkAssembly->AddPart(pvtkActorZeroGrid);
pvtkAssembly->VisibilityOn();

I have to enable the visibility of the actor to make this work.
But that is not the intention of the assembly, right ?! The
assembly should act on all parts, right ?

Any comments on this one ?
Btw. I have the same trouble with PickableOn/Off...
I am using 4.4.2 release code.

greets
  Ingo
