[vtkusers] Non-transparent wireframe representation?

[Jérôme]

Hi Joel,

I don't know of this is a good way, but you can try a forked visualisation
pipeline:

1) Original polydata -> Surface representation
2) Original polydata -> PolyDataNormals -> ExtractEdges -> Surface
representation

You will have to play with normals flipping, consistency and surface color.
I will send (PM) a screenshot of a ParaView rendering that follows this
idea.

HTH
