Fw: [vtkusers] Drawing a simple line graph (CONTINUES...)

[Isidro Moreno]

OK, here's a simple code:

#include "vtkActor2D.h"
#include "vtkRenderWindow.h"
#include "vtkRenderer.h"
#include "vtkRenderWindowInteractor.h"
#include "vtkPolyDataMapper2D.h"
#include "vtkLineSource.h"
#include "vtkProperty2D.h"

int main(int argc, char *argv[]){

    vtkLineSource *linea=vtkLineSource::New();
    linea->SetPoint1(-100.0,600.0,0.0);
    linea->SetPoint2(-800.0,500.0,0.0);

    vtkPolyDataMapper2D *mapper=vtkPolyDataMapper2D::New();
    mapper->SetInput(linea->GetOutput());

    vtkActor2D *actor=vtkActor2D::New();
    actor->SetMapper(mapper);
    actor->GetProperty()->SetColor(1.0,0.0,0.0);
    actor->SetWidth(0.25);
    actor->SetHeight(0.25);

    vtkRenderer *render=vtkRenderer::New();
    vtkRenderWindow *ventana=vtkRenderWindow::New();
    ventana->AddRenderer(render);

    vtkRenderWindowInteractor *interac=vtkRenderWindowInteractor::New();
    interac->SetRenderWindow(ventana);

    render->AddActor2D(actor);
    render->SetBackground(0.1,0.2,0.4);

    ventana->SetSize(600,400);
    ventana->Render();

    interac->Initialize();
    interac->Start();

    linea->Delete();
    mapper->Delete();
    actor->Delete();
    render->Delete();
    ventana->Delete();
    interac->Delete();

    return 0;}

Now, try to change window's size with your mouse and you'll see that the 
line don't scale and an xyplotactor. There's where my problem started...

3RD) I've already seen the help file. I meant I couldn't find anything in 
vtkActor2D.h.

Isidro.
