Rotate vtkDiskSource/vtkPolyDataMapper by Normals

I need to put multiple vtkDiskSource over the mesh surface (represented as vtkPolyDataMapper) so that the disks lay on the surface. Objects like vtkRegularPolygonSource has SetNormal method which could be used for "rotation". Also there is vtkTransform but I don't know how to calculate X,Y,Z values. Can anybody help me with that?
disk = vtk.vtkDiskSource()
disk.SetInnerRadius(1.0)
disk.SetOuterRadius(2.0)
<---- rotation
mapper = vtk.vtkPolyDataMapper()
mapper.SetInputConnection(disk.GetOutputPort())
python data-visualization vtk

Are you trying to add disks on all points of the polyData and use its normals?
