[vtkusers] Problem getting correct results with vtkProjectedTerrainPath

[Elvis Dowson]

Hi Amy,
                  As a test I tried displaying the contents of  
vtkImageData and it came up empty, from the probe filter, plus it gave  
an error saying that the extent specified was outside the actual whole  
extent.

ERROR: In /Users/elvis/Tool/vtk-5.x/src/VTK/Filtering/ 
vtkStreamingDemandDrivenPipeline.cxx, line 818
vtkStreamingDemandDrivenPipeline (0x6231b60): The update extent  
specified in the information for output port 0 on algorithm  
vtkTrivialProducer(0x6231820) is 0 325 0 465 0 0, which is outside the  
whole extent 0 325 0 465 0 -1.

Here is the test code snippet (origin set to 0, till someone helps me  
figure out how to get the extent from the data set reader) that I  
used, taking a suggestion from David Cole.

# Use a probe filter to obtain elevation data from the reconstructed  
surface
vtkImageData elevationData
   elevationData SetScalarTypeToUnsignedChar
   elevationData AllocateScalars
   [[elevationData GetPointData] GetScalars] SetName "blankScalars"
   elevationData SetDimensions $XmaxR $YmaxR $ZmaxR
   #elevationData SetOrigin $XminB $YminB $ZminB
   elevationData SetOrigin 0 0 0
   elevationData SetSpacing 1 1 1

vtkProbeFilter probe
   probe SetInputConnection 0 [elevationData GetProducerPort]
   probe SetInputConnection 1 [surface GetOutputPort]

vtkImageActor imageActor
   imageActor SetInput elevationData

Best regards,

Elvis Dowson
