1. This is not the easiest of VTK exercises.  Think.
2. Since VTK doesn't use shared textures yet, use
IPW->GetTexture()->GetInput() as the input to your own texture.
3. Use the IPW planesource and reslice output to create an orthogonal plane
of your own.  Also make use of a similar TextureMapToPlane.
4. Connect observers to the interaction/endinteraction events of the IPW in
order to keep your ortho pipelines up to date.
5. This is just a suggestion. :)

Good luck,
Charl
