[vtkusers] Re: Flattening a surface

[Goodwin Lawlor]

Hi Fernando,

VTK doesn't have a surface flattening filter but its sister project ITK 
does- /Insight/Code/Review/itkConformalFlatteningMeshFilter.txx

The filter is an angle preserving map.

I wouldn't be too difficult to re-implement the filter in VTK, if 
someone had time...
