from surfaces</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px">Hi,</DIV>
<DIV style="MIN-HEIGHT: 14px; MARGIN: 0px; FONT: 12px Helvetica"><BR></DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px">I was wondering if there exists a class which can
handle the following problem:</DIV>
<DIV style="MIN-HEIGHT: 14px; MARGIN: 0px; FONT: 12px Helvetica"><BR></DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px">I have a 3D geometry stored in a vtkPolyData and I
would like to generate a 3D image out of it. The image should have a
resolution specified by the user. I was thinking about using bounded 2D cut
planes through my geometry and and generate a certain pixel value at the
position of the pixel, where a triangle from my 3d surface cuts this plane.
After generating a lot of these 2d images along a certain axis (the distance
of the planes is the diameter in z-direction of the geomtry devided by the
resolution of the image in z-direction), I want to combine these images to a
3d image volume. Is there any easier way to handle this?</DIV>
