[vtkusers] mesh to image conversion

[Pallavi Joshi]

  Hi,
  I did it that way and it works as well....but the problem is the code 
takes toooo much time to execute as my images are 256x256x124 sized. Do you 
know any other way which will give the same result but will take less time ?

  thanks,
  --pallavi
