Cross-section images

[Ron Inbar]

Hi David!

Just after mailing the original message, I came across your vtkImageReslice
in the man pages.  I saw that it can do what I need, but I had trouble
figuring out exactly how it works.  Namely, I didn't understand how it
determines its OutputExtent.  I connected it to a 512x512x35 volume and got
an output extent of (0 430 0 430 0 270) Could you please explain?  I'd be
most grateful.

Regards,

Ron
