[vtkusers] PlaneWidget

[James Robinson]

John,

As we say in this part of the world "You're a star!!". Well done. Pity the
other issue (quad hex behaviour) isn't as clear cut.

Getting late - I know I should be in bed at this hour. Surely you also have
better things to be doing.

Regards,

Jim

Jim,

difficult to tell from the snippet, but a good guess would be that
initializing with this...

// Note pPlane is the pointer to the implicit function that is used by the
vtkCutter
            pPlaneWidget->GetPlane(pPlane) ;

is not good enough, after InteractionEndEvent, do that every time, then on
each end event, you call getplane and the implicit plane should be updated.
Apologies if I've misunderstood.
