[vtkusers] How to convert (cast) "vtkExtractRectilinearGrid" data type to "vtkRectilinearGrid" type.

[Cory Quammen]

Manjunath,

vtkExtractRectilinearGrid is a vtkAlgorithm subclass - it read's data and
produces data - while vtkRectilinearGrid is a subclass of vtkDataObject -
it stores data. No conversion between the two is possible.

What you need to do is call vtkExtractRectilinearGrid::GetOutput() to get
the vtkRectilinearGrid. Make sure to call vtkExtractRectilinearGrid::Update()
before you call GetOutput() so that the output data is up-to-date.

Best regards,
Cory
