Usage

vtkPyramid is a concrete implementation of vtkCell to represent a 3D pyramid. A pyramid consists of a rectangular base with four triangular faces. vtkPyramid uses the standard isoparametric shape functions for a linear pyramid. The pyramid is defined by the five points (0-4) where (0,1,2,3) is the base of the pyramid which, using the right hand rule, forms a quadrilaterial whose normal points in the direction of the pyramid apex at vertex #4.

To create an instance of class vtkPyramid, simply invoke its constructor as follows
