[vtkusers] Determining vtkActors from point in space

[Robbie Banks]

Sorry for being a bit slow, but how do I get the actor?

Is it.

vtkSmartPointer<vtkAbstractPropPicker> pPicker =
vtkSmartPointer<vtkAbstractPropPicker>::New();
pPicker->pick(xloc,yloc,zloc,pRenderer);
vtkSmartPointer<vtkActor> pPickedActor = pPicker->GetActor();
