Venkat,

  As far as I know, there is no OpenGL/GLU NURBS support in VTK.  I
think one reason for this is because Windows doesn't support GLU 1.3
(which contains the NURBS tessalator API) out of the box.  Having said
that, I can't see why VTK won't support a home-grown NURBS
implementation via vtkProgrammableSource.

Hope this helps,

Tuhin Sinha
