PlaneWidget

Description:

vtkPlaneWidget defines a finite (bounded) plane that can be interactively placed in a scene. The plane has four handles (at its corner vertices), a normal vector, and the plane itself. The handles are used to resize the plane; the normal vector to rotate it, and the plane can be picked and translated.
