Closest point

[Will Schroeder]

Look at the class vtkCellLocator. It has two methods that might help: FindClosestPoint() and IntersectWithLine(). (IntersectWithLine is useful when you are looking for a cloest point along a particular direction.) Look in vtkSmoothPolyDataFilter to see how FindClosestPoint() works.
