[vtkusers] How do I change color of vtkCubeAxesActor2D axes?

[Amy Henderson]

Hi Maynard,

For actors in VTK, color is handled by a property object.  The code (in 
C++) to change the color of a cube axes actor to red is as follows:

vtkCubeAxesActor2D *cube = vtkCubeAxesActor2D::New();
cube->GetProperty()->SetColor(1, 0, 0);

If you want to change the color of the axis titles or labels, this is also 
handled through properties.  To get the property you call 
GetAxisTitleTextProperty or GetAxisLabelTextProperty, respectively.
