Hi Sebastien,

I noticed that **vtk-js remote renderer** now is only works for render a server view and change view by mouse, but you can’t even control **cube render mode** (like surface or point render mode) from front-end like normal vtk-js example show.

I want to know if it’s able to control in front-end and in front-end how to dynamic select a input source? Just like **bekos** damand here.

Here is my issue link. [[RemoteView] Does VTK remoteview support dynamic input source?](https://discourse.vtk.org/t/remoteview-does-vtk-remoteview-support-dynamic-input-source/8722)
