[vtkusers] Points inside a Cylinder

[Chiranjib Sur]

Saeed,
there is no ready made solution available ( atleast I am not aware of). You
can implement the solution in the following way

1. Consider the cylinder is within a cubic volume for which you know the
bounds
2. Generate points of your desired resolution on a 3d grid for the entire
cube (this will be on a regular grid)
3. Consider the boundary condition for cylinder and create an array of
"vtkpoints" after step 2
4. This boundary condition can give you option to create point inside or
outside of your cylinder

Here is an example which you can look   to understand how to determine
inside outside of the closed surface

Hope that helps,
Chiranjib
