@David G.
I made branch here:
repo: git at github.com:daviddoria/daviddoria-vtk.git
branch: VTK-TrackballActor
Would you mind taking a look?
(These two commits:
http://github.com/daviddoria/daviddoria-vtk/commit/687ed4819ae61e169ca016e3442e9f778b0ef5d9
and http://github.com/daviddoria/daviddoria-vtk/commit/1671de6acf35a3d1cb4cd44f1fdb481b50e17e3e)
As for "change the shape of the mouse cursor or draw a horizontal
arrow somewhere." - it may be unnecessary overhead to force a text
actor or some other orientation marker into the scene. It really isn't
that hard to keep track of mentally :)
@Jim - just as above, I didn't want to force an orientationWidget to
be present to allow for generic use of this.
Thanks,
David
