# QuadraticTetra

VTKExamples/Cxx/GeometricObjects/QuadraticTetra

### Description

The quadratic tetrahedron is a primary three-dimensional cell. It is defined by ten points. The first four points are located at the vertices of the tetrahedron; the next six are located in the middle of each of the six edges

### Download and Build QuadraticTetra

Click here to download QuadraticTetra and its CMakeLists.txt file. Once the tarball QuadraticTetra.tar has been downloaded and extracted,

    cd QuadraticTetra/build

If VTK is installed:

    cmake ..

If VTK is not installed but compiled on your system, you will need to specify the path to your VTK build:

    cmake -DVTK_DIR:PATH=/home/me/vtk_build ..

Build the project:

    make

and run it:

    ./QuadraticTetra

WINDOWS USERS PLEASE NOTE: Be sure to add the VTK bin directory to your path. This will resolve the VTK dll's at run time.
