[vtkusers] Help for using vtkCurvatures

[Rong Xu]

Hi, Jana Sefcikova :

Thank you for your advice !

But I need to get the exact Gauss or Mean curvature. what do you think if I
convert point cloud to a mesh, then use vtkCurvatures to get the curvature
for each point ?

Also, I have another question. If I can get the curvatures, but how to get
the curvature value for each point from vtkCurvatures ? Though I know some
method like "curv->GetOutput()->GetPointData()->GetScalars()" to get the
curvature values, but how can I know the coordinate (x, y, z) of that
curvature value at the same time ?
