[vtkusers] PROBLEM WITH VOLUME RENDERING...

[Sentil Balaji]

Hey,
   
    I am trying to RENDER  a volume using section
images...I tried the vtkvolume16Reader , but it aint
producing a volume i.e It is not rendering the
required shape that would be obtained from the
sections.MArtin Gardner suggested using a IMAGE READER
with dimensionality 3...I tried that but it did not
work either...I have the code below...What should I
include to obtain the volume rendering....The
documentation states that the beginning and ending of
the files should be specified for the Reader , but
SetImageRange() is not a method of the any ImageReader
except the vtkVolume16Reader... I am a NOVICE...Please
help me render the volume ....MANY MANY THANKS
