                    <p>Hello everyone,</p>
                    <p>I'm working with a volume dataset (temporal Dicom
                      serie) and I´m able to visualize the  slices using
                      the following vtk C++ classes:</p>
                    <ul>
                      <li>vtkImageData: represents the volume dataset</li>
                      <li>vtkImageMapToColors: I use this class to
                        define the transfer function to be used in the
                        rendering</li>
                      <li>vtkImageActor: I use this class to render a
                        specific slice of the volume dataset  <br>
                      </li>
                    </ul>
                    Until here everything it is fine. I can render the
                    slice I want using the classes before mentioned
                    changing the SetDisplayExtent of the vtkImageActor.<br>
                    <br>
                    Now I want to visualize the output of my
                    vtkImageActor as a 2D texture in a free 3D plane. 
                    Then, I consider to have the following classes:<br>
                    <ul>
                      <li> I use a vtkPlaneSource to define the  3D
                        plane: orientation and position</li>
                      <li>a vtkTexture that has to be attached to the
                        vtkPlaneSource. My problem comes out with the
                        definition of the SetInputConnection of the
                        vtkTexture. I want to define the  image as the
                        output of the vtkImageActor. But  I do not get
                        it.</li>
                    </ul>
                    I am successful in visualizing the vtkPlane in
                    black  color (due to the texture is not well
                    defined) unfortunately, I can't get it to work
                    properly  with a texture of a specific slice of the
                    volume dataset. I have tried different ways of
                    assigning the SetInputConnection of the vtkTexture
                    using the vtkImageActor, but none of them worked
                    well.  <br>
                    <br>
                    Any help will be welcome.  Thank you very much in
                    advance,<br>
                    <br>
