[vtkusers] vtkClipPolyData

[Reinhold Füreder]

Dear Karl,

In case you are still looking for a solution: since your input is a 3D
binary image already you could try to extract the 2D image plane
directly instead of going the way of doing a "pseudo voxelisation"?
Please correct me, if I am missing something.

To fill the contour you can use image processing floodfill operation
assuming the contour is closed and has no selfintersections (other
conditions?), or if you prefer visualisation algorithms implement scan
line or rasterisation algorithm (again at least the contour must be
closed) as used by the graphics card for instance...
BTW, there are more (3D) voxelisation algorithms available in VTK, most
of them taking vtkPolyData as input.
