[vtkusers] clipping plane struggling problem

[Bill Chivas]

Hello all,

i want to use a clipping plane and i found that vtkImplicitPlaneWidget or vtkImplicitPlaneWidge2 should do the job.
The problem is that i want the clipping NOT like vtkClipPolyData which "cuts" through the cells of the dataset but like vtkExtractGeometry, which pulls out entire, uncut cells.
I tried in Paraview pipeline with Source-->Clip-->Extract cells by region which works in some way. What i want is to define whether the centroid (known) of a cell lies in so if it is in the "cut side" of the plane it is pulled out entire. Otherwise, it is not.
A second question does anyone know if the "Extract cells by region" function of Paraview is the  vtkExtractGeometry class?

A Paraview screenshot: on the left is cut, on the right cells are pulled out entirely
