[vtkusers] How to crop a rectangular volume of interest from an image when your roi is defined as polydata?

Hi all,

I  generated a  vtkcube source and then used vtktransform to scale
translate and rotate the cube so that it become a rectangular voi .
I use the  vtkTransformPolydataFilter  to apply the transform to the
cube data. This polydata is then mapped into a vtkactor and added
along with exisitng volume data to vtksliceviewer2.
This works well and I see a rectangular voi shifted , scaled and
translated from center of my volume data.

However what I'm trying to develop is a vtk slice viewer which will
show   the region of intersection of the volume of interest and the
image data in each slice (like an alpha-blended overlay rather than a
polygon actor which occlude the slice). I need to generate a subvolume
of the Original data from this transformed rectangular voi.  I have
seen people using vtkextractvoi by first using vtkoutlinefilter to
generate a bounding box. However bounding box limits are not the same
as the polydata (because when I display an actor from vtkoutlinefilter
it is bigger and doesnot show angulation as shown by the trinangulated
polydata actor)

What I need to do is extract  a subvolume form Image data
corresponding to the  rectangular voi. Create a composite volume (or
overlay the  voi volume )and then hopefully be able to show the voi
volume
transparent overlayed on Image data so as I move through the slices
Ican see the structure of the original data  inside the voi. I have
attached the code  as to how i generate my rectangular voi and it
seems to work.


Thanks for all your help
