[vtkusers] vtkTextActor with border --> vtkCaptionActor2D ??

[Andrea Gavana]

Hello NG,

      with the very useful suggestion from Vladan Bato, at last I'm able to put 
text on my 3D grid without worrying about the scale. I have another question to 
you VTK guru:

If I would like to put a border around my text, should I use vtkCaptionActor2D 
instead of vtkTextActor? Will it have the same behavior (follow the camera, 
scale problems and so on)? By googling around, I found a bug in the VTK 
phpBugTracker - Bug List, and precisely here:

http://www.vtk.org/Bug/bug.php?op=show&bugid=558&pos=27

I'm not so familiar with VTK, but what I understood is that if I have a 
viewport on my window, I can not use this useful VTK functionality because the 
border will be shifted wrt the text. Is it correct? If it is correct, is there 
any other way to accomplish my task?

Thanks for all pointers/suggestions.

Andrea.
