[vtkusers] why the vtkpolydata can't be updated

Ali,
I had originally thought this was Java source, but the addObserver
syntax is clearly different. In my interactions I use the vtkPoints
objects to address and modify the points, and I use the
insertPoint(....) function that uses the point number and the point data
to replace point values. Looking at this logic again, I am not at all
sure why the center_Before and center_After are expected to have any
different values, and even if they do, all that appears to be happening
if in fact the differences are non zero is to move the mace slightly.
This may not be apparent without some non moving reference point in the
display. You might replace that logic with something that will use
vtkTransform to actually scale or rotate the points to make sure you are
making a change and it will be visible.
I am beyond my knowlege to try to help at this point.
best of luck.
