<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div><div><div>Hi!<br><br></div>I seem to have problems using vtkTextActor, when using the latest VTK from Git. Instead of text, I am getting a white rectangle where the text should be. This happens with the small test program that I&#39;m including in this email, but also with the example program here:<br>
<br><a href="http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/VTK/Examples/Cxx/Visualization/DisplayText">http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/VTK/Examples/Cxx/Visualization/DisplayText</a><br><br></div>In the latter case, I&#39;m seeing no text because the background is also white, but if I change the background to black, I can see a white rectangle instead of text.<br>
<br></div>Here is my test program:<br><br>#include &quot;vtkActor.h&quot;<br>#include &quot;vtkRenderer.h&quot;<br>#include &quot;vtkRenderWindow.h&quot;<br>#include &quot;vtkRenderWindowInteractor.h&quot;<br>#include &quot;vtkSmartPointer.h&quot;<br>
#include &quot;vtkTextActor.h&quot;<br><br>int main()<br>{<br>    vtkSmartPointer&lt;vtkRenderer&gt; ren = vtkSmartPointer&lt;vtkRenderer&gt;::New();<br><br>    vtkSmartPointer&lt;vtkRenderWindow&gt; ren_win = vtkSmartPointer&lt;vtkRenderWindow&gt;::New();<br>
    ren_win-&gt;AddRenderer(ren);<br><br>    vtkSmartPointer&lt;vtkRenderWindowInteractor&gt; ren_win_int = vtkSmartPointer&lt;vtkRenderWindowInteractor&gt;::New();<br>    ren_win_int-&gt;SetRenderWindow(ren_win);<br><br>
    vtkSmartPointer&lt;vtkTextActor&gt; textActor = vtkSmartPointer&lt;vtkTextActor&gt;::New();<br>    textActor-&gt;SetInput(&quot;Text&quot;);<br><br>    textActor-&gt;Print(cout);<br><br>    ren-&gt;AddActor(textActor);<br>
<br>    ren_win_int-&gt;Initialize();<br>    ren_win_int-&gt;Start();<br><br>    return 0;<br>}<br><br></div><div>If it helps,I have included a Print() command, and the resulting output is:<br></div><br>vtkTextActor (0x254d420)<br>
