[vtkusers] Bug with vtkCutter?

hi,
I have some 2d unstrucutured grid data. I used a vtkCutter to
cut thru this data and display the data on a plane. the cut plane
doesnt pick anything up. I guess this is because the algorithm used
is to take each cell point and see if there is a sign change across
the implicit function (F(x,y,z) = c), if this is so the cell is taken
into consideration. Now in this case each point of a cell will
evaluate to zero. So is this a bug? Shouldnt all cells that have
points that are exactly on the plane be considered for
contouring/scalar mapping?
I know it is stupid to use a plane cutter for 2d data, but
this situation arises when I use the algorithm for a 3d problem and
use the same scripts for 2d data...
thanks,
prabhu
