[vtkusers] vtkAxisActor2D -- how to change its colour?

[Amy Squillacote]

Hi Robert,

Once you get the vtkAxisActor2D from the vtkLegendScaleActor (e.g., 
using the GetRightAxis() method), you can modify the properties of the 
axis itself by calling GetProperty() on the vtkAxisActor2D and adjusting 
the parameters as necessary. In c++, the code to change the color of the 
right axis to black would look something like the following.

vtkLegendScaleActor *lsa = vtkLegendScaleActor::New();
...
lsa->GetRightAxis()->GetProperty()->SetColor(0, 0, 0);
