[vtkusers] Manually positioning a cylinder between two points - How to?

[Wagner Sales]

Hi David,

I think here we can have an undesired result: since the second points
can be more distant than the initial points ( caps of the cylinder ) I
think we will have the scale too, what's are undesired.

Wagner
