[vtkusers] Create a grid?

[Frederic DANESI]

I don't really understand you issue : what are you exactly trying to do ?
creating and visualizing a grid as cubic cells or in a "triangulated" way ?
only the outside ? 

vtkRectilinearGrid and vtkUnstructuredGrid are valid input for
vtkDataSetMapper, or you should consider using a filter such as
vtkGeometryFilter to get a polydata representation of the outside of your
grids  ... 

For example (in Java) :
		vtkUnstructuredGridReader rd = new
vtkUnstructuredGridReader();
		rd.SetFileName(myGridFile);
		vtkGeometryFilter ext = new vtkGeometryFilter();
		ext.SetInput((rd.GetOutput()));
		ext.Update();
		
		vtkPolyDataMapper map = new vtkPolyDataMapper();
		map.SetInput(ext.GetOutput());
		
		vtkActor actref = new vtkActor();
		actref.SetMapper(map);
		actref.GetProperty().SetRepresentationToWireframe();

Cordialement,
F.Danesi
