How to add observer to handle viewport changing(rotate) event?

Support

Hello,I want to recalculate the normal of all actors in the window when view port changing(rotating) by dragging or left key pressing.Below approaches have been tried:

class Callback:

    def __init__(self):
          pass

    def __call__(self, caller, ev):
         print("rotating...")

interactor.AddObserver(vtk.vtkCommand.RotateEvent, Callback())
renwin.AddObserver(vtk.vtkCommand.RotateEvent, Callback())
renderer.GetActiveCamera().AddObserver(vtk.vtkCommand.RotateEvent, Callback())

But none of them will print out “rotating”,question is

Where to register which type of event to handle rotate event?

Thanks.

I have the same problem, somehow OnRotate function is not triggered

here is my custom interactorStyle

class NoRotateStyle(vtk.vtkInteractorStyleTrackballCamera):

def __init__(self):
    self.AddObserver("RotateEvent",self.onRotateEvent)
    self.AddObserver("LeftButtonPressEvent", self.onLeftButtonDown)
    # self.AddObserver("LeftButtonReleaseEvent", self.onLeftButtonUp)
    # self.AddObserver("InteractionEvent",self.onInteract)
    # self.AddObserver("RightButtonPressEvent", self.onRightButtonDown)
    pass

def onLeftButtonDown(self, obj, event) -> None:
    print("left clicked down custom interactor",obj)
    self.OnLeftButtonDown()
    return 

def onRotateEvent(self, obj,event) -> None:
    print("rotating")
    self.OnRotate()
    return

def OnRotate(self) -> None:
    print("rotating")
    return super().OnRotate()

def OnPan(self) -> None:
    print("panning")
    return super().OnPan()

OnPan, OnRotate methods which are original methods are not triggered.
Also if I addobserver for rotate or pan, the custome method “onRotateEvent” method is also not triggered
Am I missing something or is there a bug??
Thanks in advance
Best Regards
