[vtkusers] How to make vtkImageViewer2 to show an actor only in a certain depth

[Miro Drahos]

If what you want is to cut your sphere and visualize the intersection of 
the sphere (a circle) with the viewer plane, use vtkCutter.
The sphere polydata is the input, the reslice plane is the cutFunction.
