Thanks, Lars, for an excellent contribution! We are sorting out
whether things this detailed should go in the "Tutorials" section
(http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/VTK/Tutorials) rather than examples. A
reasonable rule of thumb is seeming to me that if there is large
paragraphs of explanation as in this one it is a "tutorial", if there
is a small 2 line explanation of what the code does, it is an example.

Anyone agree/disagree with that?

David
