[vtkusers] Change properties of axis titles for a vtkCubeAxesRepresentation

Tue Aug 13 09:24:18 EDT 2013

Yes, you're right: the vtkCubeAxesRepresentation does not allow me to have
different colors for the axis and its title..

That's why I implement a new class (here I will name it
vtkCubeAxesRepresentation2) which inherits from vtkCubeAxesRepresentation..
vtkCubeAxesRepresentation2 gives methods to change separately the colors of
the axis and its title.
