[vtkusers] Re: cleaning an unstructured mesh

[Dominik Szczerba]

My current strategy is: after snapping the points with vtkPointLocator 1) 
reject all the cells referencing the same point id more than once 2) reject 
duplicated cells by simply dropping them into an STL set<Triangle> with an 
appropriate < operator. Seems to finally work but I would be happy to hear if 
someone can find a hole in this thinking.
