[vtkusers] vtkActor->SetBounds(double[])

[Najzero]

Snap,

that sounds complicated.

Maybe you want to take a look at
http://www.vtk.org/doc/nightly/html/classvtkOutlineSource.html#details
though I am not sure if the boundingBox is your problem.


I'd suggest another approach using vtkPlane instead of the boundingBox to
create those contours.
Most of the time you want a contour through the center ( SetNormal and
SetOrigin for that vtkPlane from the vtkActor coordinates/orientation).

pseudoCode for 1 slice missing some handling for that contourActor (like
setRepresnetationToWireframe() and stuff)

slicePlane = vtkPlane::New();
cutterPlane = vtkCutter::New();

cutterPlane->SetInput( yourPolyData );
cutterPlane->SetValue( 0, 0.5 );
cutterPlane->GenerateCutScalarsOn();
cutterPlane->SetCutFunction( slicePlane );

// after rotating your object just always call
slicePlane->SetNormal( yourvtkObject.getX(), yvtkObject.getY(),
yvtkObject.getZ());
slicePlane->SetOrigin( yourVtkObject.GetOrigin() );

yourVtkObject->getMapper()->Update();
