[Paraview] 3D Glyph Representation Question

[Andreas Maier]

Hi Brian,

it is possible that I made a similar thing before. If you please have a look 
at

The lung geometry to the right actually only consists of line elements. The 3D 
feeling comes from the glyph filter, which  creates tubes over the 2D line 
elements. A programmable filter was used to calculate and provide the glyph 
filter with the radius and the orientation of the tubes. I can send you 
screenshots of the single steps taken and the programmable filter script to 
your  personal email (as I have no idea if the mailing list accepts file 
attachments).

Regards,
Andreas
