[vtkusers] Normal vector of the surface of ellipstic cylinder

It may not be wrong .
I think what you have done is taken ellipse and extruded it to form
cylinder shape.
If you observe points in your polydata, they are only at the edge of
cylinder shape.

SO normals are drawn only in that region.

You have done too much scaling and hence "arrows" are mixing up to see that
graphics that you see there. I modified your code and you can see normals
drawn correctly. There is output image attached.
