Check the vtkBandedPolyDataContourFilter. It might help.

Hello all,

I would like to be able to visualize my data using "solid contours". I
am not sure if this terminology is the correct one, but I know this is
the name used in AVS, for example. Basically, I'd like to get the same
information as with isolines, but with the regions between the lines all
of a uniform color. I have attached a picture (generated in AVS) that
illustrates what I would like.

Is there a module in VTK that allows one to do such a thing? I have
tried playing with the lookup table, and it is the closest I've been
able to get to the right solution. The problem with this, however, is I
still get some interpolation across cells, and the results are very
blocky (because of underlying grid).

Thank you,

Charles Boivin
