<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial><SPAN class=503272821-15112010>I have a laser line
scanned surface created using triangle strips. When I interrogate the
input vtkPolyData, I find that I have 107639 points. When I create
the vtkPolyDataNormals, I find that this contains 108698 points -- there is
obviously not a one-to-one correlation between the input data and the output for
the normal filter. I understand that the vtkPolyDataNormals filter takes
some liberties with the data to achieve a better visual presentation, but what I
am interested in is an accurate association of the normal vectors with the
original input data.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
