Section: Visualization Toolkit Graphics Classes

Usage

vtkRibbonFilter is a filter to create oriented ribbons from lines defined in polygonal dataset. The orientation of the ribbon is along the line segments and perpendicular to "projected" line normals. Projected line normals are the original line normals projected to be perpendicular to the local line segment. An offset angle can be specified to rotate the ribbon with respect to the normal.

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