To derive a new cell type you'll typically do the following:<br>
<br>
1) derive from vtkCell or vtkCell3D. This means overloading any virtual
functions consistent with your new cell type; as well as implementing all
pure virtual functions. This is the hard part.<br>
<br>
2) If you want to use use the method vtkDataSet::GetCell(id,genericCell),
make sure that you extend vtkGenericCell to know about your new cell
type. Also add a #define to vtkCellType.h to reflect the new type.<br>
<br>
3) If you want to use vtk file formats, etc. you'll have to modify
readers/writers to recognize the new type.<br>
