[vtkusers] Parametric Representations of surfaces

[Andrew J. P. Maclean]

Is it possible for vtk to handle parametric representations of a surface
in a way simular to the implicit functions? 

I.e

For a given p(u, v) in [0, 2* PI]

Generate x(p), y(p), z(p), x'(p), y'(p), z'(p) and use them in a similar
way to the implicit functions like vtkSphere etc.

 

Has anyone any ideas on how to do plots of parametric representations of
a surface?

 

Andrew
