[vtkusers] Fwd: vtkTubeFilter Side/Border Thickness

[Fauze Polpeta]

Hi David;

I think I need to fallback to the first approach you suggested.
Gobbi's clipper relies on a vtkPlaneCollection to perform clipping. In
my case I have to clip using a vtkPolyDataToPolyDataFilter (i.e.
vtkTubeFilter) which is inherently different from vtkImplicitFunction
(i.e. vtkPlane).

Thanks

Fauze
