import vtk

# The points to be triangulated are generated randomly in the unit
# cube located at the origin. The points are then associated with a
# vtkPolyData.

for i in range(0, 25):
    points.InsertPoint(i, math.Random(0, 1), math.Random(0, 1),

profile = vtk.vtkPolyData()
profile.SetPoints(points)

# Delaunay3D is used to triangulate the points. The Tolerance is the
# distance that nearly coincident points are merged
# together. (Delaunay does better if points are well spaced.) The
# alpha value is the radius of circumcircles, circumspheres. Any mesh
# entity whose circumcircle is smaller than this value is output.
