[vtkusers] Viewport clipping

[Doug Hoppes]

Forgot to mention… it’s the same VTKImageActor for all of the viewports.

Okay… I’ll see how hard it is to move our code back to OpenGL with the latest version and see if the problem persists.

Here’s the image with a different background.  As you can see, the vtkimageactor looks like it’s the correct size.

If I use the mouse to drag the image over to the right (using the interactorstyle Pan()), I see:

For troubleshooting problems like this, use test images that don't have a black background. That way we can see where the boundaries of the images are.

It looks like the images are simply being rendered in the wrong position.  So the question is whether this is due to the fact that multiple viewports are being used (i.e. due to a bug in the display coords or view coords), or if this is due to a shift in the world coords.  Either way, this is strange because the OpenGL2 vtkImageSliceMapper simply uses a vtkPolyDataMapper under the hood.

There were many changes between VTK 6.2 and VTK 7.0... any chance that you can try this with the OpenGL backend in VTK 7.0 (instead of OpenGL2)?

Also, here is a very important question: do you create a separate vtkImageActor for each of your viewports?  Actors should not, in general, be shared between viewports.

Notice the clipping. The upper two viewports show nothing, the bottom viewport is correct and the rightmost viewport is clipped in the center of the viewport. If we resize the overall vtk window, the viewport is still clipped in the center.  It seems that there is no display to the right-side of the viewport.  In the main right viewport, we can actually move the objects around without a problem but the results are still clipped.
