That looks like what I am trying to do, however without user interaction. Do you ever incorporate that into a plugin?

Thanks,

Hi Brian,

it is possible that I made a similar thing before. If you please have a look at
http://www.lnm.mw.tum.de/Members/ismail/red_d_fsi_models.jpeg

The lung geometry to the right actually only consists of line elements. The 3D feeling comes from the glyph filter, which creates tubes over the 2D line elements. A programmable filter was used to calculate and provide the glyph filter with the radius and the orientation of the tubes. I can send you screenshots of the single steps taken and the programmable filter script to your personal email (as I have no idea if the mailing list accepts file attachments).

Regards,
Andreas

I currently have a reader that creates a vtkMultiBlockDataSet with two
blocks: one of which is a polydata consisting of vertices and lines. I
see the data in a 3D plot as pixels and lines connecting them. To make
it more visually appealing, I was looking into views and a saw that they
basically just load representations.  I now am trying to create a new
representation that replaces each of the vertices with a 3d glyph (lets
just say a cube for simplicity). Would I be going about this the correct
way if I were to derive a new representation from
vtkGlyph3DRepresentation, then load that representation in my view? Are
there any examples that show something similar to what I am trying to do?
