[vtkusers] SetDataSpacing

[Bill Lorensen]

Spacing is x and y is the distance between the samples. The units of measure are your choice. Often medical images use millimeters. Let's say your medical data resolution is 512 x 512 and your study has a 250 mm field of view. Then the spacing in x and y would be 250/512 or .488 mm.

Hope this helps,

Bill
