Hello, I have a problem with the color change of my VTKAxisActor. I want to make it more visible on my images but when I change the property color, the color is change in memory but I didn’t see any change.
To make a test i use you vtkAxisActor example and i just add this line.
axis-\>GetProperty()-\>SetColor(1.0, 0.0, 0.0);

This example may help, [AxisActor](https://lorensen.github.io/VTKExamples/site/Cxx/Visualization/AxisActor/), here the title and label colours are being set. Also look at [vtkAxisActor Class Reference](https://vtk.org/doc/nightly/html/classvtkAxisActor.html) for other actor properties that you can set.

I’m away from my computer however there should be methods like “GetXAxisShaftProperty()” and " GetXAxisTipProperty()" and you should be able to use “SetColor()” on the properties.

I can not access to those properties because there are in the vtkAxesActor and not in vtkAxisActor. I tried with the GetAxisMainLineProperty or GetAxisLinesProperty and there is no color change.

I meet the same problem too. Have you ever solved it?
