I find restriction on the resolution number of a cyliner source in<br>
vtkCylinderSource.h, that is:<br>
vtkSetClampMacro(Resolution,<wbr>int,2,VTK_CELL_SIZE).<br>
This macro amounts to saying that the resolution is restricted to a<br>
range between 2 and VTK_CELL_SIZE(=512). Hence, I think it difficult<br>
to override.<br>
<br>
In order to increase the resolution of the cylinder, one thing you can<br>
try is to apply the loop subdivision filter after triangulating it.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
