[vtkusers] Change properties of axis titles for a vtkCubeAxesRepresentation

[Sébastien PULVERAIL]

Hi Seb,

I can assure you that you can have different colors between the axis and
its title. I investigate a little bit more on my code..
If I execute the following code, only the label colors (blue) and the axis
color (red) change.

    this->CubeAxesActor->GetXAxesLinesProperty()->SetColor(1.0, 0.0, 0.0);
    this->CubeAxesActor->GetTitleTextProperty(0)->SetColor(0.0, 1.0, 0.0);
    this->CubeAxesActor->GetLabelTextProperty(0)->SetColor(0.0, 0.0, 1.0);

Then, just after, I run the following code:

    this->CubeAxesActor->SetXTitle("X2");

And the title is correctly update, and the color (green) is also changed...


I already try the call to ->Modified() on first the vtkCubeAxesActor and
then on the vtkCubeAxesRepresentation.. But nothing change on the view..

Seb
