I tried to get that to work with VTK from CVS and I must have missed
something. Or I messed up some pipeline thing.  Anyway I picked through
it and that bit where the lines are made to line strips then to a poly,
then triangulated is really nice.  

What I don't get is why the loop? Could something be left over?

The attached "worked" for the PolyData I have.
