Hi Jim

Here is a Python example from my code:

        camera = self.scene.vtkrens[0].GetActiveCamera()
        labels = ('e1', 'e2', 'e3')
        colors = ((255,0,0), (255,255,0), (0,255,0))
        for i in range(3):
            text = vtk.vtkVectorText()
            text.SetText(labels[i])
            text_mapper = vtk.vtkPolyDataMapper()
            text_mapper.SetInput(text.GetOutput())
            actor = vtk.vtkFollower()
            actor.SetCamera(camera)
            actor.SetMapper(text_mapper)
            actor.SetScale(.01, .01, .01)
            actor.GetProperty().SetColor(colors[i])
            actor.SetPickable(0)
            actors.append(actor)
