[vtkusers] Generate contours around the segmented regions

[Jérôme]

Hi,

If you apply vtkExtractVOI to your binary volume, then you can extract one
slice of the volume. If you apply vtkContourFilter to this slice (thus the
output of vtkExtractVOI), then you will have 2D polygonal contours from the
2D binary image. When you change the extracted slice and update the whole
pipeline, it will also update the traced contour.

Sorry if I am not clear enough, but I really hope it helps !
