Dear list,

I hope that you accept newbie questions. 


My goal is to draw a circular cylinder or some other embedded manifold with 
some objects moving on top of the cylindrical surface.

Here is my approach (I'm wondering if it is a good one).

The first thing I have tried is to generate a VTK file with the points of the 
cylinder using pyVTK. (I have attached the file). I have generated these as 
unstructured data. 

Next I opened the file with mayavi, used a Delaunay3D filter and a SurfaceMap 
module.  My problem is that the surface I get is not completely filled out. 
There are some open triangles in the surface which are not rendered. I have 
tried tweaking the settings of the Delaunay filter, but I haven't been able to 
close the open triangles.

Any help or comments are appreciated.
