Wow, impressive. Still ahead john :)

What do you mean by "filters" ? (regarding VTK).

And if I set my cron table so that you receive one email every hour, is it 
going to be fine also ? :))
I'd love to see a demo.

I guess you mean "Kylix". There has been some news recently at /. : 
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=00/06/07/1255251&mode=thread

I do not think it's gonna be available before the end of the year, and 
probably later. Furthermore, although you have been the VTK-C++Builder 
guru/advocacy here for a while (and it looks quite successfull), I'm not 
sure there is much C++Builder support/users for VTK (sadly). I tried to 
compile VTK with Borland tools some time ago, but failed, I guess I missed 
some tweaking. As I said before, I'd rather a some scripting language + 
portable GUI toolkit solution, but it's only my opinion.

Looks good John. Thanks for the feedback.
