[vtkusers] extract the exact outline from struectured points

[Songbo Chen]

Hi, vidyadhar:

thanks for helping.

The result I want is like using the the vtkSturcturedGridOutlineFilter to extract the exact outline of data(any type of shape), when using vtkOutlineFilter, I can only get a cuboid or cube. I can not fine any class like "vtkStructuredPointsOutlineFilter" in VTK, is there another way to do this?

  Hi,
  Structured points data set is always brick shaped. You can use vtkOutlineFilter which will output polydata outline. This outline can be viewed using vtkPolyDataMapper.
  Hope this will help you.

    Hi, everyone:

    Can anybody tell me that how I can extract the exact outline (the shape of dataset) from sturctured points? I have try to cast the structured points to structured grid using the vtkCastToConcrete class, but I got lots of strange errors.

    Thanks for anyone who can help me.
