[vtkusers] Normals and Triangles

[Vtk_Newbie]

Hi All,

I am trying to read data from a file and display it. The data in the file is 

1) vertex co-ordinates of triangles , 2) normals at each vertex 

eg: 

vertex1[x]  vertex1[y]   vertex1[z]   Normal[x]      Normal [y]        Normal[z]

All values are in world/object space.

Now, i  read these coordinates and made triangles (vtkTriangle) out of them and renderered them.... there are a lot of gaps in the object renderered. I am thinking, that is because  I have just not done anything with the normals, frankly because I dont know what to do with them.


Can someone help with this?....How do I make use of the normals ?  

Mayur
