    # Next we create an instance of vtkNamedColors and we will use
    # this to select colors for the object and background.
    #
    colors = vtk.vtkNamedColors()

    #
    # Now we create an instance of vtkConeSource and set some of its
    # properties. The instance of vtkConeSource "cone" is part of a
    # visualization pipeline (it is a source process object) it produces data
    # (output type is vtkPolyData) which other filters may process.
    #
    cone = vtk.vtkConeSource()
    cone.SetHeight(3.0)
    cone.SetRadius(1.0)

    #
    # In this example we terminate the pipeline with a mapper process object.
    # (Intermediate filters such as vtkShrinkPolyData could be inserted in
    # between the source and the mapper.)  We create an instance of
    # vtkPolyDataMapper to map the polygonal data into graphics primitives. We
    # connect the output of the cone source to the input of this mapper.

    # Create an actor to represent the cone. The actor orchestrates rendering
    # of the mapper's graphics primitives. An actor also refers to properties
    # via a vtkProperty instance, and includes an internal transformation
    # matrix. We set this actor's mapper to be coneMapper which we created
    # above.

    # Create the Renderer and assign actors to it. A renderer is like a
    # viewport. It is part or all of a window on the screen and it is
    # responsible for drawing the actors it has.  We also set the background
    # color here.
    #

    ren1.SetBackground(colors.GetColor3d('MidnightBlue'))

    # Finally we create the render window which will show up on the screen.
    # We put our renderer into the render window using AddRenderer. We also
    # set the size to be 300 pixels by 300.

    renWin = vtk.vtkRenderWindow()
    renWin.AddRenderer(ren1)
