How to make vtkImageActor show more than one axis

Question

I am building a orthogonal viewer in vtk. I have the three renderers going, but only one will show the correct image, one other shows a badly mangled image, and the third does not show anything.

If I set the camera position to diagonals, I can see the images, but it is still mangled. There must be something obvious that I am missing to get the camera to look at these orthogonal views.

 Orientations orientation = Orientations.XY;
            switch (index)
            {
                case 1:
                    orientation = Orientations.XY;
                    break;
                case 2:
                    orientation = Orientations.XZ;
                    break;
                case 3:
                    orientation = Orientations.YZ;
                    break;
            }

            switch (orientation)
            {
                case Orientations.XY:
                    this.ImageActors[index].SetDisplayExtent(w_ext[0], w_ext[1], w_ext[2], w_ext[3], this.Slicex, this.Slicex);
                    break;

                case Orientations.YZ:
                    this.ImageActors[index].SetDisplayExtent(w_ext[0], w_ext[1], this.SliceY, this.SliceY, w_ext[4], w_ext[5]);
                    break;

                case Orientations.XZ:
                    this.ImageActors[index].SetDisplayExtent(this.SliceZ, this.SliceZ, w_ext[2], w_ext[3], w_ext[4], w_ext[5]);
                    break;
            }

            // Figure out the correct clipping range
            int xs = 0, ys = 0;

            switch (orientation)
            {
                case Orientations.XY:
                default:
                    xs = w_ext[1] - w_ext[0] + 1;
                    ys = w_ext[3] - w_ext[2] + 1;
                    break;

                case Orientations.YZ:
                    xs = w_ext[1] - w_ext[0] + 1;
                    ys = w_ext[5] - w_ext[4] + 1;
                    break;

                case Orientations.XZ:

                    xs = w_ext[3] - w_ext[2] + 1;

                        }
                        break;

            RenderWindow[index].Render();

The answer is to use AddActor2D to put in the images. Thank you
