[vtkusers] Constraining vtkLineWidget2

Using the CVS version of VTK...
1) can I constrain vtkLineWidget2 to translate in the x,y, or z direction?
2) can I constrain the widget to remain inside a bounding box?
I've tried doing this using the vtkLineRepresentation functions.
For 1), my pseudo-code looks like this (note: I recompiled VTK with a
friend class to access the protected members):
vtkLineWidget2 *lineWidget = vtkLineWidget2::New();
vtkHandleRepresentation *handle1Rep = <cast here>
lineWidget->Point1Widget->GetRepresentation();
handle1Rep->ConstrainedOn()
lineWidget->Point1Widget->SetRepresentation(handle1Rep);
The widget still moves in any direction. I'm not sure what ConstrainedOn
means.
For 2), my pseudo-code looks like this:
double bounds[6];
bounds[0] = bounds[2] = bounds[4] = 0;
bounds[1] = bounds[3] = bounds[5] = 1;
vtkLineRepresentation *lineRep = lineWidget->GetRepresentation();
lineRep->BoundingBox->SetBounds(bounds);
The widget still moves around unconstrained.
Thanks for the help.
