[vtkusers] decimating tips while preserving topology

[Michel Audette]

Hi everyone, 

can someone tell me how to maximize the decimation available to vtkDecimate and vtkDecimatePro, while still preserving topology? I want to reduce the number of triangles to something like .01% to .1%, but even setting the target reduction to 1.0 doesn't come close to that. 

Please advise, 

Michel
