[vtkusers] Extent Problem

[rywchiu]

Hi Tom,

Thanks for your quick reply! But I am actually using 4 separate renderers (all within one window, and thus sharing one interactor). Sorry about the confusion, perhaps I should have been more concise in my email. 

Here is my problem in more detail: 
When I change the the size or move the planes on my widget, I can see the corresponding images change in the other renderers. When simply moving the planes, I don't run into any problems. It's only when expanding/shrinking the plane that causes errors. When I expand the plane on the widget, the size of its corresponding image does not change, but instead it sort of shifts around in its renderer, displaying only the portion of the image in its original extent.  If I shrink the image, I receive the following errors:

"ERROR: In \Vtk\Common\vtkDataObject.cxx, line 524
vtkImageData (09C98AE8): Update extent does not lie within whole extent

ERROR: In \Vtk\Common\vtkDataObject.cxx, line 531
vtkImageData (09C98AE8): Update extent is: 0, 127, 0, 31, 0, 0

ERROR: In \Vtk\Common\vtkDataObject.cxx, line 538
vtkImageData (09C98AE8): Whole extent is: 0, 127, 0, 15, 0, 0

Is this an extent-related issue? Or would it still be the camera? Any suggestions?

Thanks for your input!
Rita
