<p class="MsoNormal">Is it possible to use the depth sorter for transparency when there are multiple actors, each with their own mapper, in the same renderer?<br>
<br>
We have this setup because we want to be able to use the vtkInteractorStyleTrackballCamera in actor mode to manipulate the multiple actors individually.<br>

Thanks!<o:p></o:p></p>
