[vtkusers] moving selected actor

[Jim Peterson]

Jazz,
I have noticed that the default interactor appears to honor the A and C 
keyboard interactions to switch between Actor interaction and Camera 
interaction, There also appears to be support for T and J to switch 
Trackball and Joystick style interaction as well. This is all documented 
in the vtkInteractionStyleSwitch class. So you may be able to move an 
actor by pressing A then double click within the image of the objects 
represented by the actor. You should always be able to set the 
interaction style to vtkInteractionStyleSwitch to get this behavior.

This example 
http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/VTK/Examples/Java/Interaction/ExtrudeTest may help.

Hope that helps,
Jim
