ReadAllPolyDataTypesDemo

Repository source: ReadAllPolyDataTypesDemo

Description

This example displays a model from each of the supported vtkPolyData readers.

Info

The example reuses two procedures: ReadPolyData introduced in ReadAllPolyDataTypes and ViewportBorder introduced in ViewportBorders.

Other languages

See (PythonicAPI)
