[vtkusers] cutting a region in volume ,

[Bryn Lloyd]

You could try to do it in paraview (www.paraview.org). Paraview is built 
using vtk classes. It has methods to clip/cut meshes and images.

In paraview you have the possibility to select a bounding box or the 
parameters of a plane (normal,origin) to clip parts of your object.

If you have to do this many times, or need to implement your own code, 
you should look at the examples in VTK, e.g. for classes 
vtkBoxClipDataSet, vtkClipDataSet, etc.

Often the doxygen class description has a link to examples and tests, e.g.
http://www.vtk.org/doc/nightly/html/c2_vtk_t_3.html#c2_vtk_t_vtkClipDataSet
