[vtkusers] Re: Edge Visibility in vtkProperty

[Eugene Kim]

Hi Goodwin,

 	My issue with using two objects is that it consumes unecessary 
resources.  I've potentially got a lot of objects in the scene with which 
I need to be interactive with.  Does this ResolveCoincident setting 
address this issue?

Thanks,
Eugene
