Change "resolution" of measured curvature #26

Thanks for the nice tool! After playing with it, I have managed to obtained the parametrized surfaces for a given simulation I have. I am interested in measuring the "major" curvature though, and it seems the calculation is done at a very "local" scale, and there is no way of measuring the curvature of the overall membrane, i.e., the workflow identifies imperfections in the membrane, but not real membrane curvatures. Is that the case, or am I missing some function available to do this?

I answer to myself. One can add further smoothing with vtkSmoothPolyDataFilter, as implemented in pyvista. I might pass a pull request if there is interest.
