[vtkusers] Calculating surface area

[Dean Inglis]

Colin,

not sure that you can do this in VTK without a
surface first (enclosed or otherwise).   Once you
have a surface, use vtkMassProperties.

I have a set of point cloud data that I need to obtain a surface area from.
Can I go about this without first generating an surface?  If so, any
suggestions?  Otherwise, what's involved once I've generated a surface?

Thanks,
Colin McDonald
