[vtkusers] positioning a cylinder

[Amy Squillacote]

Hi Mark,

You can create a vtkLineSource that goes between the two lines: 
http://www.vtk.org/doc/release/5.0/html/a01687.html. Then you can pass 
the output of the line source through the vtkTubeFilter: 
http://www.vtk.org/doc/release/5.0/html/a02133.html. Turn capping on in 
the tube filter to close off the ends of the cylinder.
