[vtk-developers] Parallel coordinates chart looking nice

[Marcus D. Hanwell]

Hi Eric,

Just a quick note - I have updated the logic in the charts and the
annotation link's signal should be correctly fired now. I have also added
transparency to the line drawing at Jeff's suggestion and this looks much
better. I should add a couple of pens where the user can control the look of
the lines through the public API.
