Does vtk have the concept of “instancing” of geometry? <BR>
I’d like to create markers in my scene represented by a cone where each cone can differ in radius and height. I’m currently creating a vtkConeSource for each marker.<BR>
Right now there aren’t many markers (less than 30) and I’m seeing a performance hit if I increase the resolution of the cones to more than 10.<BR>
Ideally, I could create a single cone geometry and then instance the other markers and size them accordingly. Is this type of functionality available in vtk?<BR>
