Dear VTK Java-wrapper experts,
I am facing some strange rendering/numeric conversion/interpolation problem when using the vtkResliceCursorWidget. When moving the reslice cursor, the displayed image flickers.
Why does the image change, even though no reslicing is necessary (reslice axes do not change)?
Even if it reslices again, why is there such a visible difference?
I attached a minimal example below (unfortunatly I am not allowed to upload the file) that can be started right from the scratch. I am using VTK 8.2.0 and JAVA 1.8.201.
I am glad for any hint.
Best,
Tom
