[vtkusers] Re: ray cast rendered stereo is LR reversed

[Dr. Daniel James White PhD]

Hi All,

I added a bug report to the bug tracker,
I'm not sure if it is already fixed in CVS,

I am trying to use this feature very often, and it needs to be fixed,
as it is quite fundamental to visualisation of complex data.

cheers

Dan
