Detailed Method Descriptions:

Given points and lines, compute normals to lines. These are not true normals, they are "orientation" normals used by classes like vtkTubeFilter that control the rotation around the line. The normals try to stay pointing in the same direction as much as possible (i.e., minimal rotation).

int GenerateSlidingNormals (vtkPoints * ,vtkCellArray * ,vtkNormals *)
