[vtkusers] Re: simple slice viewer application

[Juerg Tschirren]

Dave,

Can you make the source available somewhere, e.g. on your webpage until it
is part of the VTK distribution? It looks like your program includes many
things I am currently struggeling with and it would be very helpful for me
to take a look at the source code.

thanks


Juerg
