Hi Amy, thanks for the response. I did take a look at that class and
but did not understand how I could use it to get the normals at the
vertexes. Eg, I didn't see any methods like
normVec = filter.GetNormal(vertexID)
of
normalVecs = filter.GetNormals()
So although vtkPolyDataNormals looks like just the right filter, I
don't how to get the data out of it that I need. The inherited method
GetOutput returns vtkPolyData. Should I be using this data to access
the normal vectors?
Thanks,
John Hunter
