[vtkusers] getting the points I see

[Lars Matthäus]

Hi,

is there a simple way to get the "visible" points used for rendering an object? In detail I have an ImageData object which I process by a ContourFilter. The output of the ContourFilter is rendered. Everything is fine. Now I want to get the coordinates of the points "shown" in by the renderer. Using contour.GetOutput().GetPoints() is no solution since this returns all points of the original ImageData object (which are far more than the ones defining the isosurface displayed). How can I get only the points of the isosurface?

Connected with that: How can I get from an Actor only the DataSet used for displaying something? Here again actor.GetMapper().GetInputAsDataSet()  doesn't work since it returns all data, also the "hidden" one.

Thanks for your help!

Lars
