[vtkusers] vtkGlyph3D problem?

[Jérôme]

Hi,
The "not able to allocate..." message is the usual one when you don't have
enough memory.
Don't forget that your sphere will be copied at each input point. Thus the
final number of
points will be:
   number_of_sphere_points * number_of_input_points

eg. 20x20 spheres = 400 points * 75k = 30M

each input point data is copied over each sphere point. It multiplies the
amount of needed
memory as well (fo instance, a tensor multiplies by 9, if it's double data
it is 4 octets
more, etc.)
