[vtkusers] Extracting coordinates

[Randall Hand]

Here's something to try.. Right after you setup the vtkContourFilter (This
is in C++)

vtkContourFilter *contour = vtkContourFilter::New();
contour->SetInput(blah);
... configure the contour ...
contour->Update();

for(int cid = 0; cid < contour->GetOutput()->GetNumberOfCells(); cid++) {
    vtkCell *acell = contour->GetOutput()->GetCell(cid);
    printf("Polygon %i: (%i points)\n", cid, acell->GetNumberOfPoints());
    for(int pid=0; pid < acell->GetNumberOfPoints(); pid++) {
        double *point =
contour->GetOutput()->GetPoint(aCell->GetPointId(pid));
        printf("\tPoint %i: %lf, %lf, %lf\n", pid, point[0], point[1],
point[2]);
    }
}
