Jeff Lee and I added a new class: vtkBandedPolyDataContourFilter. It 
creates filled contours between user specified contour values. It also can 
perform clipping outside of the range of the contours. With a nice lookup 
table it looks a lot like the familiar terrain contour maps you see in the 
atlas. It is much faster than applying vtkClipPolyData in several passes. 
The filter assumes the input polygons are convex (no such limitations on 
verts, lines, or strips, which it handles).

There are two examples: 
VTK/Graphics/Testing/Tcl/TestBandedContourFIlter.tcl 
andVTK/Examples/VisualizationAlgorithms/Tcl/BandContourTerrain.tcl.

Let Jeff know if there are any problems...
