[vtkusers] Feature edges extraction with associated dihedral angle

[Cory Quammen]

Hi Guillaume,

I do not know of a smarter way to get what you want than to do one of the
solutions you have described. You could modify vtkFeatureEdges to produce
the output you want and submit it in a merge request on GitLab [1] and make
the feature available to future users of the class.

By the way, we are transitioning from the mailing list to
https://discourse.vtk.org/. Please post future questions there.

Thanks,
Cory
