Hi!
I am pretty new to using VTK and have a small problem with illumination of my 
image.
I want to plot 3 slices (x/y/z) through a three-dimensional cube of data. That 
works fine. Isolines I plot on the surfaces link up, however the colors I 
assign using a lookup table do not match on intersecting surfaces due to 
different illumination angles. 
The problem is worst in face-on view (test.1.png), that some contour lines are 
not filled at all. The contour lines are filled, if I look from an angle.
The simplest solution would probaly be to have the same light from x/y/z on 
all three planes. How do I need to assign my lights to accomplish this without 
clipping the colors? How do I adress the camera which is generated by 
default?
Any suggestions how to get equal illumination on all three slices from all 
angles or a link to a tutorial would be great appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
Tim
