[vtkusers] Mesh Lines

[Lubos Brieda]

What happens if you use two regular actors (not LOD for the mesh), but set one to wireframe representation, and possibly also group them into an assembly? And make sure to make the lines thicker. 


(I just finished working on a VTK-based GUI and that's the approach we took and it worked fine.)

Thanks Lubos for your reply. I tried increasing thickness but the behavior remains the same as before.

I also want to add that the wireframe looks broken only at times at places when I am rotating and also depends on the zoom level. If I dont zoom at all it is fine but when I start zooming, the lines look broken randomly.

Also try to make them thicker (under actor->GetProperty()). Not sure if this is related but I've found that superimposing a wireframe 
actor with the default line thickness over a solid one makes the lines 
come and go unless you increase their thickness.
