[vtkusers] Visualizing normal vectors

[mozendi]

Dear Andaharoo,

Thank you very much for recommendations. My code works successfully and it
runs quite fast. 
I have one more question. Is it possible to set width of arrows? I can scale
it using SetScaleFactor(). I tried SetTipLength and SetTipRadius but
dimensions did not change. 
Thanks in advance
