Hi,I am trying to implement the 4 planes view thing (axial, coronal,sagittal and 3D(volume render)) using three vtkImagePlaneWidget in the 3D view. but when i modify the 3D volume property (color,Opacity and Contrast),the vtkImagePlaneWidget slices(axial, coronal,sagittal) unable to update synchronously color,Opacity and Contrast.

vtk-9.3.0

I will really appreciate if you can guide me through.

Best Regards
