Q: What is the sense in vtkGlyph3D, if it does not support custom-made source objects?

Hi Mirco

You could use vtkProgrammableGlyphFilter. There's a demo progGlyphs.tcl in the graphics directory

Greetings vtkusers-list!

    For the last couple of weeks I have been trying almost everything I
can think of to force vtkGlyph3D to use a two-colored line as glyph for
some vector values attached to some points. But the original colors
(gradient from blue to white) I set for the line (this is a vtkPolyData)
are always overridden by vtkGlyph3D. I simply cannot prevent vtkGlyph3D
to do a "color-by-scalar/vector/scale" sort of thing.

    I do not want vtkGlyph3D to act like this. Is there really no other
way than to customize the class vtkGlyph3D myself?

Thanks in advance for your time and kind advice!

Best regards...

Mirco
