Re: Set orientation of a clipped cone

Thanks Kenichiro.  I finally did RTFM for vtkActor and found how orientation is handled.  I was just about to reply saying that when your message arrived.

Cheers, Gib

Hi,

The SetOrientation function is used to rotate the actor in degrees. So
you need to specify the rotation degrees instead of an orientation
vector.

The clipActor created can be given position, and scaled, but I can't see how to set its orientation.  It does have a member function setOrientation(double a[3]), but when I invoke this with a = (0,1,0) nothing happens (the default orientation of the cone is (1,0,0)).
