This may-or-may not address your specific problem, but I wanted to 
mention that this is a really inefficient way to store a 
three-dimensional array.  VTK has classes that provide efficient storage 
of arbitrary-dimension dense and sparse arrays that you should consider 
using instead - see vtkArray and its subclasses:

Cheers,
