Curvature (Curvatures)
This filter will compute the gaussian or mean curvature of the mesh at each point.
The Curvature filter computes the curvature at each point in a polygonal data set. This filter supports both Gaussian and mean curvatures.



; the type can be selected from the Curvature type menu button.

Curvature Type
(CurvatureType)
This propery specifies which type of curvature to compute. 0

The value must be one of the following: Gaussian (0), Mean (1).

 
Input
(Input)
This property specifies the input to the Curvature filter.  

The selected object must be the result of the following: sources (includes readers), filters.

The selected dataset must be one of the following types (or a subclass of one of them): vtkPolyData.

 
Invert Mean Curvature
(InvertMeanCurvature)
If this property is set to 1, the mean curvature calculation will be inverted. This is useful for meshes with inward-pointing normals. 0

Only the values 0 and 1 are accepted.
