[vtkusers] Sub-sampling a point cloud

[Sarah Macumber]

Hi, does anyone know what a good way to sub-sample or down sample a
point cloud of data would be?  As in, if you had a million points
representing a 3D object like a  cylinder how could you sub-sample that
data so you only had a thousand points which still represented the
geometry but coarsely?

 

Thanks in advance, Sarah
