#include <vtkPolyDataNormals.h>
vtkPolyDataNormals is a filter that computes point normals for a polygonal mesh. The filter can reorder polygons to insure consistent orientation across polygon neighbors. Sharp edges can be split and points duplicated with separate normals to give crisp (rendered) surface definition. It is also possible to globally flip the normal orientation.
The algorithm works by determining normals for each polygon and then averaging them at shared points. When sharp edges are present, the edges are split and new points generated to prevent blurry edges (due to Gouraud shading).
Triangle strips are broken up into triangle polygons. You may want to restrip the triangles.

virtual void vtkPolyDataNormals::SetAutoOrientNormals | ( | int | ) | [virtual] |
Turn on/off the automatic determination of correct normal orientation. NOTE: This assumes a completely closed surface (i.e. no boundary edges) and no non-manifold edges. If these constraints do not hold, all bets are off. This option adds some computational complexity, and is useful if you don't want to have to inspect the rendered image to determine whether to turn on the FlipNormals flag. However, this flag can work with the FlipNormals flag, and if both are set, all the normals in the output will point "inward".
