[vtkusers] Java -how to remove an actor from a vtkpanel?

[Henrik Westerberg]

Hello,

Hmmm I didn´t have any problems doing the following in my app:

renWin.GetRenderer().RemoveActor(aActor);
renWin.GetRenderer().ResetCamera();
renWin.GetRenderer().AddActor(aActor);
renWin.GetRenderer().ResetCamera();

but renWin is a vtkCanvas rather than a vtkPanel.

so try using ResetCamera rather than rePaint(). You could also
try an Update somewhere but for me going through java that 
would sometimes crash the jvm.

Also if you have 0 actors in the scene then no rendering is
done.

bye,

Henrik

Dear all.

Please see the code below. I am trying to add/remove actors to a 
vtkpanel. I find that although the number actors will 
increment/decrement, the view will not refresh unless I bring another 
window in front of it?

I feel I must be doing something silly, I hope someone can point me in 
the right direction, so far I have not found any resources to illustrate 
actor removal in Java.

many thanks

Stephen
