I am trying to create a text actor using vtkTextActor and vtkTextProperty more or less as shown in [this example](https://kitware.github.io/vtk-examples/site/Cxx/GeometricObjects/TextActor/). Is there any way to make the words “Hello” and “World!” different colors without resorting to putting them in separate actors?
