Re: Visualizing normal vectors

Dear Andaharoo,
Thank you for your recommendation. I tried to modify my codes according to
your recommendations, my code is getting compiled successfully. However,
when I run it I am getting an error message. The screenshot and my code are
below. Could you please tell me what is wrong with my code?
Thanks in advance
