[Ves] change line thickness in vesKiwiPolyDataRepresentation

[Aashish Chaudhary]

Hi Kate,

I meant that you can have these lines contained in your vtp file or as
a separate vtp file but instead of having the, as lines, you can have
them as polygons or tubes and then you will have more control over the
appearance of these lines.

Thanks,
