wholeFilter SetExtent 0 [expr $n0-1] 0 [expr $n0-1] 0 [expr$n0-1]

This will force it to create the planes of the geometry for the mapper (as I understand it).

Good luck,
Jim

I've been trying to do something simple but don't seem to be
having much luck. I want to display the surface of a StructuredGrid
as a solid (or even a wireframe). When I execute the code below
all I get is a 5x5x5 grid of points. Anyone have any idea what
I'm doing wrong?
