RubberBandZoom

Description¶

This example demonstrates how to select a region of the window to zoom in.

vtkInteractorStyleRubberBandZoom object allows the user to draw a rectangle in the render window using the left mouse button.

When the mouse button is released, the current camera zooms by an amount determined from the shorter side of the drawn rectangle.
