[vtkusers] Closed vtkPolyLine to binary image

I found the problem!

Remove extruder->SetExtrusionTypeToNormalExtrusion();

If extruder->SetVector(0, 0, _somevalue_) then
origin[3] of the whiteimage has to be set to something between 0.01 and
_somevalue_ and it works immediately.

I viewed the extruder output in paraview.. it's something like an "surface"
and i think the imageplane z-centre has to be inside the z-bounds of this
"surface"


Thanks for your help,

Cheers
Dirk
