[IGSTK-Users] 3D Segmentation.

[Ziv Yaniv]

Dear Ashwath,

IGSTK does not provide classes for separating a single mesh object into 
multiple objects. You will have to create a filter that does this using 
a combination of ITK (mesh processing) and VTK (interaction, possibly 
processing). The result can obviously be displayed and used for 
navigation guidance in IGSTK. It is not a question whether you use IGSTK 
or ITK and VTK. The toolkits are complementary to each other. Depending 
on your needs you will often have to use all three.

                regards
                       Ziv
