3D widgets separate the logic of display from interaction be specifying two classes. The widget class it self handles the interaction, and a widget representation handles the how to display the widget. The documentation for vtkBoxWidget2 is a good starting place to understand the widget concept in VTK ( http://www.vtk.org/doc/nightly/html/classvtkBoxWidget2.html ).
