Description¶

This example demonstrates how to color the individual faces of an annotated cube.

This is based on a very nice example by Rodrigo Figueiredo in this discussion.

The process is:

Create the annotated cube actor using vtkAnnotatedCubeActor.
Select the names on the faces, text colors and, if needed, any rotations of the text.
Make the annotated cube transparent.
Create a cube actor with colored faces.
Combine the annotated cube actor and cube actor into a prop assembly using vtkPropAssembly. Since the annotated cube and the cube are the same size you get an assembly with colored cube faces and the requisite text.
Create a vtkOrientationMarkerWidget and set the set the orientation marker to be the prop assembly.

The function MakeAnnotatedCubeActor generates the annotated cube with different colored faces which is then added to a vtkOrientationMarkerWidget.

The colored annotated cube is then placed in the lower left of the view (default). Additionally, a vtkOrientationMarkerWidget containing an axes actor has been added to the lower right of the view.
