[vtkusers] Re: Cell Data for Colors

[Bill Lorensen]

Kent,
Back in Sept 1999, I tried to fix the cell data problem in the vtkPolyDataNormal filter. However, the logic was flawed if strips were present. I can't recall the specifics of the problem. You can see what I was up to by looking at the cvs repository:

http://public.kitware.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/vtk/graphics/vtkPolyDataNormals.cxx

My attempted fix was 1.19. As the log shows, I reverted back in about 4 hours.

Perhaps I'll look at it again when I get a spare moment,

Bill
