Hi Pingkun, hello everybody,

the mesh source is in fact not producing a very regular mesh. I faced 
the same problems with the cell density around the poles. I can offer 
you a itkRegularSphereMeshSource.

If it was of general interest I could contribute this class to the 
toolkit. Right now it is not documented very well and the cells are 
produced in an inefficient way.

I am sending it to you anyway. I hope this can solve at least one of 
your problems.


Regards,

Thomas


To the ITK DEVELOPERS: Tell me if there is an interest/need for the 
class and what needs to be changed in the code/documentation.
