Summary0004066: The left-handed axes are not left-handed.
DescriptionIn /Widgets/Testing/Cxx/TestOrientationMarkerWidget.cxx line 510.
This should be: transform->RotateY(180);

You need a reflection along one of the axes in order to change the handedness. A rotation of 90 will not do it but a rotation of 180 will.

You could also use transform->Scale(1,1,-1) but the colours will be all black. It seems that orientation of the normals is changed if this is done. (I think.)

Oops ... you cannot use rotations. You must use a reflection along one axis in order to change the handedness. So something like transform->Scale(1,-1,1) is the best way. However this leaves the axes as black.
