Vtk-js: vtkCubeAxesActor2D

[johannesring]

I would like to draw axes with labels around the bounding box of my data set, like you can do with vtkCubeAxesActor2D, but I was unable to find this class in vtk.js. Would it be possible to create axes like this with the current functionality in vtk.js or would one have to implement vtkCubeAxesActor2D? In the latter case, do you have any idea how much work it would take to implement this?

This is definitely something we would like to do but dealing with text in 3D is not always obvious.

You can implement that using vtkPixelSpaceCallbackMapper for now. It seems we have some interaction issue but the idea is as follow.

FYI @martinken

Thanks, I will look into that.

Hello, I made a proof of concept to create axes with vtkjs
You can find the source and results here (all is embed in the html):
https://xavartley.github.io/#dev/vtkjs/vtk_axes.html

I don't know if it's the best way to do it but I'm open to all suggestions for improvement
(First I think about it, is possibility to specify the origin)

Edit:
I implemented a grid and possibility to set origin

Should this be closed since we now have vtkCubeAxesActor?
