Don't know if it's a genuine flaw or just something I'm doing wrong, but
I've never managed to successfully view a vrml file that I've created under
vtk if it has triangle strips in it. I'm reluctant to blame vtk because
I've never spent any time trying to see if there is a bug, but if you have
strips in yours you may have the same problem. Int.Exp. always hangs and
nothing ever appears...
