[vtkusers] PoinInPolygon arguments

[Jothybasu K Selvaraj]

When I call ComputeNormal I get an error " method requires a vtk object"

Actually my polygon is from vtkCutter, it cut a slice from the sphere.Should
I convert it to some other type?

Thanks,

Jothy

polygon->ComputeNormal(contour->GetPoints()->
GetNumberOfPoints(),
static_cast<double*>(contour->GetPoints()->GetData()->GetVoidPointer(0)),
