[vtkusers] Fw: What's wrong with the code?

[Lorensen, William E (CRD)]

I'm guessing you are running on an Intel processor.
 
Try changing
v16->SwapBytesOn();
to
v16->SetDataByteOrderToLittleEndian();
 
This will make the reader decide whether or not to swap the bytes.

Hi,

The following codes was the exact example in the vtk book(1998), but I got different results, which I
think it were wrong, and have attatched as a series pictures. (I failed twice as a whole picture for
its size.)
I changed with many values of isosurfaces, tried to find a smooth 'real' skin of the head, but failed
at last.

Someone can help.
Many thanks in advance,

Changli, Yao
