[vtkusers] Coupling multiple cameras

[Jonas Juselius]

I tried that, but I ended up in the woods. The problem is that I need to
apply some (actor dependent) rotations to each actor. I use
vtkTransform::RotateX(), etc. But for some strange reason, this causes
the camera view/transformation to go bananas. The real problem it seems,
is that I must do a CameraReset() in order to get the camera nicely
centered on each actor. When I transform, the camera is not pointing
correctly at the actors anymore. Does anyone know how to solve this problem?
