Make text appear and disappear again

Hi, thanks for such a great tool!

I’m trying to have changing text in an animation and don’t manage to properly make it appear and disappear. Consider this example:

from vtkplotter import Text, screenshot, Plotter

vp = Plotter(axes=0, interactive=0)

for i in [1,2,3]:
    text = Text('%03d' %i)
    # vp.actors = [text] # this produces different results
    vp.add(text)
    vp.show()
    screenshot('test_%03d.png' %i)
    vp.remove(text)

Output: test_000.png shows 001 instead of 002…

Thanks a lot!

Hi Marco,

nice, after updating to your new version I get the same output as you!

As your comment says, embedWindow(False) is needed on ipython or jupyter. Also the normal python console seems to be fine with it.

Thanks a lot for following up on the issue!

Cheers, Marvin
