The same problem accounts for Step 8.

The tutorial steps use the Volume Rendering of MITK core, which is (probably) not used in any other plugins. The errors disappear as soon as we use the MITK-Ext Volume Rendering.
However, a long-term solution should be discussed e.g. whether we want to set the core volume renderer as deprecated and use the MITK-Ext Volume Rendering instead etc.

COMP: adjusting Deprecated Macro and RenderingHelper

Since LineMapper2D and SplineMapper2D are rarely documented/tested and not used any longer, they are set deprecated. Both classes derive from the 'old' PointSetGLMapper2D, which can not be deleted because of this depency. However, after a full release cycle, it all 3 classes should be removed from MITK.

Bug could not be reproduced on my PC (but it is quite hard to measure unbiasedly whether zooming accelerates when closing the project and opening the same image).

The source of error could be in function vtkPropRenderer::AdjustCameraToScene() as well, where a "zoomFactor" is set.

The problem is, that there is not necessarily an image provided. If an image is provided the default tolerance could be adjusted according to the image space, yes. I will have a look on that.

Thank you for your comments.

Yes, it seems to be quite easy to integrate it into our new mitkPointSetVtkMapper2D, since this part of the mapper is similar to the mitkPointSetGLMapper2D.

Rendering component handover.

Changed the status of this bug into "Confirmed" since we still do not have a proper solution for the wrong lighting in the first rendered frame.
If the redesign of the ImageVtkMapper2D is finished, this bug should be investigated again.

Only images are not rendered properly in the first frame. Other datatypes (point set, surfaces) seem to work.

The color issue could be solved by removing directed lights from the vtkLightKit in the following way:

Rendering component handover.

New remote branch pushed: bug-11821-ChangeLightingIn2DView

By adding those new code lines we introduced a new issue we still need to investigate properly.

Its a lighting issue with VTK rendering presented by the default lighting parameters. We could resolve it in the 2D render window by removing all default lights and adding a single scene light with only ambient term enabled.

For the 2D render windows RemoveAllLights() is applied (not introduced by us). The call of this method will hide the wrong lighting in the first rendered frame.
