[vtkusers] Re: creating elipsoid

[Goodwin Lawlor]

Hi Theodore,

You can use vtkQuadric with the correct coeffients to create an ellipsoid
(use vtkSampleFunction to create the actual geometry).

Recently in cvs there is a vtkParametricSuperEllipsoid class... you'll have
to compile the source though.
