Hi, everyone!  
I meet a problem about vtk 2D actor. I use **vtkAxisActor2D** as a axis in the axial view (x-y plane) and it can display facing the camera rightly. Now I want to show it in sagittal view(y-z plane) and coronal(x-z plane) view. And I also want the axis can face the camera rightly. I find **SetPoint1** and **SetPoint2** functions can only assign x and y coordinates. I know that 2D actors can only display in 2D coordinate system and the value of z-axis is omitted. But, Is there any way to assign to use only y-z coordinate system or x-z coordinate system for 2D actors?
