[vtkusers] how to create a torus ?

[John Biddiscombe]

vtkSuperquadric stuff has a torus option. See vtkTestCurvatures.tcl in the
nightlies for an example (do you need (almost) equal surface area facets or
something? "can't use vtkSphereSource")

PS. How's your moments based curvature class? I checked your web site the
other day but it has gone.
