I've been using MangledMesa with VTK (5.0.1) for quite a while now with pretty good success, but I ran into an issue where I couldn't get vtkTextActor's to display in the resulting displays at all.<br><br>So I upgraded to a newer VTK hoping this was fixed (Paraview-2-6 branch) and recompiled everything. Now my resulting renderings are completely blank. I did have some issues with getting it to compile as it seems a few of the files in the Rendering directory have desynced between the vtkMesa* and vtkOpenGL* versions. I manually resynced them (Just had to copy some function definitions in the .h files over) and it compiled.
<br><br>So my question is a 2 parter:<br>1) Anyone know how to get TextActors to work with the 5.0.1 VTK? Was there a known bug around that time that's been fixed, or is there some new option that must be enabled to get it to work?
<br>2) How to I get MangledMEsa to work in the newer VTK releases? Right now i'm getting either blank or random-garbage displays.<br clear="all"><br>-- <br>----------------------------------------<br>Randall Hand<br>
