Thanks! It seems vtkOrientationMarkerWidget is the right class to use. I also
found an example on the wiki where an icon actor (such as the torso) can be
used with the orientation widget: 
http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/VTK/Examples/Widgets/OrientationMarkerWidget

Also the examples in VTK documentation show how to use a cube with its faces
indicating the orientation. However, does anyone have a torso model as a
.vtp file (or other format)? Where can I find one? 

Rashed.
