Chris,

You can learn a lot by looking at the examples that come with the VTK
distribution -- assuming you downloaded the source.  For example, if you go to
...vtk/graphics/examplesCxx and grep/search for 'GetBounds', you'll find it
used in finance.cxx:

  float bounds[6];
 ...
  popSplatter->GetOutput()->GetBounds(bounds);
 ..
  axes->SetOrigin(bounds[0], bounds[2], bounds[4]);
