<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>I am using the new vtkBalloonWidget to provide
hover/tool-tips behavior to an application. The feature is operating as
expected with the exception of the text is being rendered behind all the
objects rather than in front. The display is rather dense and the text is
usually unreadable because it is obscured by the glyphs being displayed.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>I looked at the 2D properties associates with the
vtkBalloonRepresentation because there was a foreground/background option
there. Foreground was already in effect and setting it again had no effect. Is
there any other control available to force the text to be rendered on top of all
other objects?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
