[vtkusers] Unstructured grid to structured grid?

[Chris Marsh]

Yes, I was trying to be optimistic :( Good call on the bounds:
vtu export: xmin:624714 xmax:629904 ymin:5.64502e+06 ymax:5.64877e+06
vtp export: xmin:1 xmax:-1 ymin:1 ymax:-1

Presumably the problem. I'm unclear why it is doing this though?

vtkSmartPointer<vtkPlaneSource> gridPoints =
vtkSmartPointer<vtkPlaneSource>::New();

int gridSize = 1000;
gridPoints->SetResolution(gridSize, gridSize);
gridPoints->SetOrigin(bbox.vertex(0).x(),  bbox.vertex(0).y(), 0);
gridPoints->SetPoint1(bbox.vertex(2).x(), bbox.vertex(0).y(), 0);
gridPoints->SetPoint2(bbox.vertex(0).x(), bbox.vertex(2).y(), 0);
gridPoints->Update();

where bbox is a bounding box (2D), index 0 is bottom left, indexing is
increasing CCW. So 2 is upper right corner. As far as I can tell this is
correct and corresponds to the vtu export numbers I had above.

I feel like I perhaps don't understand resolution: I envision it as the
size of each cell, however I don't think that is correct is it?
