[vtkusers] How do I output PolyData's points?

[Matt Zumwalt]

Thanks Amy.
    Possibly someone knows what I'm doing wrong in translating Amy's code from 
C++ to Tcl?  I've gotten the following error (tcl code included below):

	Error in startup script: Object named: sphere, could not find 
	requested method: GetPoints
	or the method was called with incorrect arguments.

	    while executing
	"sphere GetPoints"
 	   invoked from within
	"set points [sphere GetPoints]"
	    (file "PointsToArray.tcl" line 6)


This is what I've done in Tcl:

package require vtk

vtkSphereSource sphere 
 sphere SetThetaResolution 8
 sphere SetPhiResolution 8
set points [sphere GetPoints]
set numberOfPoints [sphere GetNumberOfPoints]

for {set i 0} {i < $numberOfPoints} {incr i} {
    set outarray($i) [points GetPoint $i]
}

Thanks again, 
MattZ
