The [ShapeWidget Example](https://kitware.github.io/vtk-js/examples/ShapeWidget.html) doesn’t seem to work. It generates the console error:

```auto
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'setVisible')

```

Does anyone know how long this has been broken? Are there any other samples of how to use the RectangleWidget?

Thanks.

@finetjul do you know if [fix(shapewidget): Fix and improve ShapeWidget by tomsuchel · Pull Request #2054 · Kitware/vtk-js · GitHub](https://github.com/Kitware/vtk-js/pull/2054) should fix ShapeWidget usage?

@Forrest yes, it should fix all ShapeWidget errors. I’ll try to get it merged this week.
