Good Day,

I am newbie at VTk. Is there an alternative to vktImageMapper? It does a 
great job of displaying 2D images (in my case slicers)  but it does not 
resize the image as the rendering window resizes. I tried vtkDataSetMapper 
which took all the slicers combined them (on top  of each other) mapped them 
to the graphics system which allowed me to resize the combined dicom slicers 
as the rendering window was resized. This is what I want but I would like it 
in 2D, i.e. no camera movements only the choice of changing the window and 
color level. Does anyone have a solution to this? I have read on the vtkuser 
archives that slicer could be mapped as a texture but (as far as I know) 
this allows for camera movements and I am not interested in it for now. BTW 
I am reading these slicers with vtkImageReader and then using either 
vtkImageViewer to display them or using the following pipeline: 
vtkImageMapper->vtkActor2D->vtkRenderer->vtkRenderWindow->vtkRenderWindowInteractor.


Thank you and with Kind Regards,

Abhi
