if the size of the orientation axis is increased using interactive controls, it cannot be placed in the corner leading to lost white space. Is there any other workaround for this?
Hi, I guess you are talking about the padding of the widget to the corner of the viewport. It is just busy work to add a control widget for this. Time is tight right now but do you want to give it a shot? Here is the PR that added the widget:
https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview/-/merge_requests/5848/diffs#78ae067889f0ea632ce151136561c39d0a939d07
You have to call setPadding of the vtkCameraOrientationRepresentation object in Remoting/Views/vtkPVRenderView.cxx
https://vtk.org/doc/nightly/html/classvtkCameraOrientationRepresentation.html#a1ae55cb231f019f1d438bc1bb38e8886
and then add a control widget in Remoting/Views/Resources/views_and_representations.xml
