[vtkusers] Smoothing isosurfaces

[Alessandro Artusi]

Hi Bryn,

sorry you are right the vtkContourFilter has not Number of iteration I was
using vtkSmoothPOlyDataFilter as you have suggeste. So teh code is here:

smoother = vtk.vtkSmoothPolyDataFilter()
smoother.SetInputConnection(sr.GetOutputPort())
smoother.SetNumberOfIterations(50)

with this number of Iteration I do not see any improvements.
I guess I have to do something else right?

Cheers,
Alessandro.
