Detailed Description

3D widget for manipulating an infinite plane

This 3D widget defines an infinite plane that can be interactively placed in a scene. The widget is assumed to consist of four parts: 1) a plane contained in a 2) bounding box, with a 3) plane normal, which is rooted at a 4) point on the plane. (The representation paired with this widget determines the actual geometry of the widget.)

To use this widget, you generally pair it with a vtkImplicitPlaneRepresentation (or a subclass). Variuos options are available for controlling how the representation appears, and how the widget functions.

Event Bindings:
By default, the widget responds to the following VTK events (i.e., it watches the vtkRenderWindowInteractor for these events):
 If the plane normal is selected:
   LeftButtonPressEvent - select normal
   LeftButtonReleaseEvent - release normal
   MouseMoveEvent - orient the normal vector
 If the origin point is selected:
   LeftButtonPressEvent - select slider (if on slider)
   LeftButtonReleaseEvent - release slider (if selected)
   MouseMoveEvent - move the origin point (constrained to the plane)
 If the plane is selected:
   LeftButtonPressEvent - select slider (if on slider)
   LeftButtonReleaseEvent - release slider (if selected)
   MouseMoveEvent - move the plane
 If the outline is selected:
   LeftButtonPressEvent - select slider (if on slider)
   LeftButtonReleaseEvent - release slider (if selected)
   MouseMoveEvent - move the outline
 In all the cases, independent of what is picked, the widget responds to the 
 following VTK events:
   MiddleButtonPressEvent - move the plane
   MiddleButtonReleaseEvent - release the plane
   RightButtonPressEvent - scale the widget's representation
   RightButtonReleaseEvent - stop scaling the widget
   MouseMoveEvent - scale (if right button) or move (if middle button) the widget
 
Event Bindings:
Note that the event bindings described above can be changed using this class's vtkWidgetEventTranslator. This class translates VTK events into the vtkImplicitPlaneWidget2's widget events:
   vtkWidgetEvent::Select -- some part of the widget has been selected
   vtkWidgetEvent::EndSelect -- the selection process has completed
   vtkWidgetEvent::Move -- a request for slider motion has been invoked
 
Event Bindings:
In turn, when these widget events are processed, the vtkImplicitPlaneWidget2 invokes the following VTK events on itself (which observers can listen for):
   vtkCommand::StartInteractionEvent (on vtkWidgetEvent::Select)
   vtkCommand::EndInteractionEvent (on vtkWidgetEvent::EndSelect)
   vtkCommand::InteractionEvent (on vtkWidgetEvent::Move)
 
Warning:
Note that the widget can be picked even when it is "behind" other actors. This is an intended feature and not a bug.

This class, and vtkImplicitPlaneRepresentation, are next generation VTK widgets. An earlier version of this functionality was defined in the class vtkImplicitPlaneWidget.

void vtkImplicitPlaneWidget2::SetRepresentation ( vtkImplicitPlaneRepresentation r  )  [inline]

Specify an instance of vtkWidgetRepresentation used to represent this widget in the scene. Note that the representation is a subclass of vtkProp so it can be added to the renderer independent of the widget.
