      Bill, your script solved Jean-Hugues' issue with vtk-5.10 and

      Jean-Hugues, could it be a mistake in your c# translation?<br>

                                                  <br>

                                                  divide the curve to n
                                                  equals segments)<br>
                                                  <br>
                                                  I tried to use

                                                  but I was only able to

                                                  find how to specify
                                                  that these new points
                                                  should be equally
                                                  distributed.<br>
                                                  <br>
                                                  Any idea ?<br>
