Nope, I just need to create a set of cylinders. Consider this code: https://gist.github.com/829727 The draw of the cylinder is on line 9 cyl = visual.Cylinder(pos=(coords['x0'],coords['y0'],coords['z0']), axis=(x_ax,y_ax,z_ax), radius=1, length=10) Basically that line has to go and everything has to be done in tvtk pipeline?
