[vtkusers] vtkMarchingCubes - where?

[alexandre gouaillard]

To use the marching (i.e. the patented classes),

you need to install vtk from sources.
There is no other way (as far as I know) to get it.

download the latest sources from the site.
run cmake with the VTK_USE_PATENTED flag on,
compile everything
and try your installation by clicking on the mcubes.tcl test under
your_local_path_to_vtk_src\Patented\Testing\Tcl\ directory

hope this will help
