Sometimes the text is hard to read because the objects in the background are colored close to the color of the text. For example red text on top of a red object or black text on top of a dark blue object. It would be great if I could give text an outline in a different color. This would make it stand out.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>So my question is what options does VTK have to make text standout against a variety of backgrounds? <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Thanks,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Adam<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Adam Bruss<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Development Engineer</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>AWR Corporation/Simulation Technology & Applied Research</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>11520 N.
