[vtkusers] hidden surface removal

[Craig N. Scott]

Not sure if this is what you are looking for, but maybe you want the
BackfaceCullingOn() member function in vtkProperty. It isn't hidden
surface removal, just backward-facing surface removal. In one of my Tcl
scripts, I use it like this:


vtkUnstructuredGridReader dataSource
  dataSource  SetFileName  "/path/to/some/file"

vtkDataSetMapper mapper
  mapper SetInput [dataSource GetOutput]

vtkActor actor
    actor SetMapper mapper
    eval [actor GetProperty] BackfaceCullingOn


According to the archives, someone asked a similar question in 2000 but
it appears no-one responded back then. Probably not much help, sorry.
