[vtkusers] Dilemma

[Mathieu Malaterre]

Jim,

	[vtkusers list is now: vtkusers at vtk.org]

	I am not sure I understand your problem. Is it possible you send me/the 
list a python/cxx/tcl script with a small dataset to reproduce the problem ?

	If your data is confidential, could you at least send a screenshot ? 
That would help a lot. In that case indicate the pipeline you are using.

Thanks,
Mathieu
