CubeAxesActor2D

vtk-examples/Java/Visualization/CubeAxesActor2D

Description

vtkCubeAxesActor2D object draws axes on the bounding box of the data set and labels the axes with x-y-z coordinates.

vtkPlatonicSolidSource object can generate each of the five Platonic solids: tetrahedron, cube, octahedron, icosahedron, and dodecahedron. Each of the solids is placed inside a sphere centered at the origin with radius 1.0.
