How to manage vtkActor.

Support
1

Hello, I would like some advice on how to manage vtkActor.
For example, is there a recommended way to remove only certain vtkActors added to the renderer?
My program holds a pointer to a specific vtkActor, then there is a way to compare it in vtkActorCollection, but I am wondering if there is a way provided or recommended by vtk.

P.s. What is the material name? Is it a property that can be used as an alias for an actor object?

Hello, Yongun,

It is recommended that you, first, remove an actor from the scene by calling renderer->removeActor( actor ). The you can dispose it off or let a smart pointer do it for you.

Materials hold the visual properties of an actor (e.g. its color or whether it gives off specular effect). No, it is not an alias.

regards,

Paulo
