Sara,

Hmm, can you send me the polydata along with your code so I can try it? What
was the error?

Also, this is a VERY approximate "curvature-like" computation - it is just
trying to indicate regions that are "non-flat". It is not intended to
approximate either Gaussian or mean curvature.

Thanks,

David
