# Demonstrate how to use the vtkBoxWidget to translate, scale, and rotate actors.
# The basic idea is that the box widget controls an actor's transform. A callback
# which modifies the transform is invoked as the box widget is manipulated.

# Start by creating some simple geometry; in this case a mace.
