You could iterate through all the props and set their properties:
http://www.vtk.org/doc/nightly/html/classvtkViewport.html#abed96fa68aa3089c0f6c770c06d7af26

This is exactly what is done when you press 'w' - you can find it on
line 752 (the case 'w' case of the OnChar() function) of
vtkInteractorStyle.cxx.
