[vtkusers] non see through mesh?

[Amy Squillacote]

Hello Harriet,

Please keep the discussion on the vtkusers list.

I haven't done much with front face culling, so I don't have suggestions 
for making it work properly. Others on the vtkusers list might be able 
to help you if you send images showing the unacceptable results you're 
seeing as well as a description of what you'd like to see instead.
