[vtkusers] Turning contours into volumes

[Tallhamer, Mike]

I am new to vtk and am ok with c++. I have a need to read in a file that
contains a series of slices. Each slice (same z coordinate)  has a series of
points that define a closed contour around the outside of an anitomic
structure (I would assume a vtkPolyLine). I would like to read in each slice
and constuct the volume that is defined by the contours then apply a
transformation matrix to rotate and translate that volume the use a
vtkCuttingPlane to reslice the transformed volume from top to bottom so I
have a new set of contours defining the transformed volume. I know this
sounds like a ambitious first project for a newbie but I was hoping some one
from this list could give me a good point in the right dirrection on how to
accomplish something like this (i.e. vtk data stuctures to use or a rough
out of a visualization pipeline sketch to try.).

Thanks
