I do not have the value of the point on the plane that is perpendicular to the point in space. </div><div><br></div><div>Is there a vtk function that can give me this point on the plane(though it is not necessary I have this point, I am really only concerned with the distance to the plane). I'd rather not write a function to do this.</div><div><br></div><div>Rafay</div> </div></div> </div></body>
