GPU Filters for VTK

Lines are converted to Triangle Strips on the CPU. Then the Vertex Shader orients the triangle strips to face the camera. Finally the Fragment Shader colors the pixels based on the reflection equation on a cylinder. The resulting image can be textured with arrows, text, or numbers to convey additional information.
