Summary0012064: vtkImplicitPlaneRepresentation ignores NormalToZAxis, NormalToYAxis, and NormalToXAxis
DescriptionI can't be sure what the intent was here; my assumption is that the intent was to lock the representation to axis-normal. It appears that these instance variables are unused (apart from being set/unset) in the class. If the intent is to force the representation to always be axis-normal, two things are needed.
1) In the method SetNormal(double x, double y, double z) we need something like
    if(this->NormalToXAxis) x=1.0; y=0.0; z=0.0;
    if(this->NormalToYAxis) x=0.0; y=0.0; z=0.0;
    if(this->NormalToZAxis) x=0.0; y=0.0; z=1.0;
2) Also in the methods SetNormalTo?Axis we need something like
  if (this->NormalToXAxis != var)
    {
    this->SetNormal(1.0,0.0,0.0); // no effect, but SetNormal needs to be called
    this->NormalToXAxis = var;
    this->Modified();
    }

There is another oddity with this class reported here http://public.kitware.com/pipermail/vtkusers/2010-January/105856.html [^] The way the code is currently structured, one must SetBounds that include the plane BEFORE doing SetOrigin and SetNormal, or they have no effect and are defaulted to {0,0,0} and x-normal.

Additional InformationSome of this may be due to me misinterpreting the intent of the class.

Does the problem still occur with VTK 5.10 ? VTK 6 ?

Would be great if you could submit a patch using Gerrit. For more details see http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/VTK/Git/Develop [^]

Thanks
