vtkStructuredPointsToUnstructuredGrid is an abstract class, so you
can't instantiate it. I don't see any derived classes, so it looks
like this is just supposed to be for the user to subclass and write
their own algorithm that takes a structuredpoints and produces an
unstructuredgrid.

I think this is what you want though:

There is no reason this should be so hard/not built in...

Thanks,
