[vtkusers] Vectors with lines and cones

[Amy Squillacote]

Hi Darlon,

Please keep this discussion on the vtkusers list; that way other people 
can help answer your questions, and the conversation is archived, which 
may help other people with the same problem.

If you have the VTK source code, take a look at the Mace.cxx test (in 
VTK/Graphics/Testing/Cxx); it shows an example of glyphing a sphere with 
cones. This example does not involve reading data from a file; it's 
pretty simple and straightforward.
