I agree with your opinion Phillip, but your reply doesn't answer my question... I was not asking for performance, I'm using 2D text actors and I want to change their orientation... I want to know if this is possible

My experience with the caption actors that is that they fairly limited and<br>annoying because the text changes size with different lengths. I feel that<br>the vtkTextActor's are fairly slow because of anti-aliasing(In
5.0 you can't<br>turn anti-aliasing off :( ). If you try to add lots of text actors,<br>preformace will drop considerably.<br><br>Philip Schuchardt<br><br>On Thursday 29 March 2007 7:36 am, Jesús Spínola wrote:<br>> Hi,
