[vtkusers] How to create a cube with vtkPolyData

[Jothy]

I have tried it earlier. It works fine when you display it as surface. But I
want to display it as a wireframe , I mean only the outline.So that you can
see the dose values and ROIs properly.

(I wonder, there must be someone on the list from the planning system
developers, but they keep their mouth tight!).

Thanks,

Jothy
