[vtkusers] Someone knows difference of the vtkContourFilter and vtkMarchingCube , and other contour generatation algorithm ?

[Bill Lorensen]

MarchingCubes is optimized for image data. CountourFilter works for
any type of data, but is slower for image data. All use
MarchingCubes-like lookup tables to generate the isosurface.
