[vtkusers] VTK-JS: How to visualize numbers

[Cristina Oyarzun]

Hello Sebastian,

I am trying to adapt the example to my current problem. I have a render
window with 4 renderers. Each renderer has several actors and some of them
should get labels next to them.

My plan now is to create a vtkPointSet, and set this as inputData to the
vtkPixelSpaceCallbackMapper. Is this correct?

My problem right now is that when I try to set a point in a vtkPoints the
vtkPoints remains empty. Do you have any idea what the problem could be?
Just to test I simplified the problem to this:

var Points = vtkPoints.newInstance();
Points.setPoint(0, 13, 10, 50);
console.log("Points", Points.getNumberOfPoints());

And I get always 0.

Thank you!!
Cristina
