Dear Cory,
Many thanks for Your suggestion, I wouldn't have thought of a representation
plugin. I guess You mean the plugin type described here:
http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView/Plugin_HowTo#Adding_new_Representations_for_3D_View_using_Plugins_.2A_new_in_version_3.7
I'll give it a try.
Thanks again for the hint
Roman

Hi Roman,
A representation plugin could probably do this. It would just need to
set its internal actor to an instance of vtkFollower and set the
camera from the view's renderer, which could be set by overriding the
AddToView(vtkView* view) method in your custom representation.
I hope that helps,
Cory

Dear Utkarsh,
Needing the same thing as Willi, I've created a paraview plugin written in
C++ doing basically the same as Your script. Would it be possible to achieve
something like vtkFollower does from within a c++ PV plugin such that the
text always faces the camera? An other idea would be to use Python in the
animation view to rotate the text as the camera orbits. This would be a
workaround only for animations, which would suffice for me. Do You thing
that should be possible if nothing else works?
Many thanks for looking into this.

Alas, that's not easy to do, if at all possible, with Python source.

Dear Utkarsh,
would it be possible to synchronize the transform of the rendered
texts
to the transform of the camera, such that the planes in which the
texts
lie stay normal to the viewing direction?
I'm aware of vtkFollower, but I'm not sure if it is applicable / how
to
make use of it in the context of ParaView / Programmable Source, as it
derives from vtkActor.
Many thanks!
Willi.
