I would like to ask if I can slice elements in triangulation. Suppose my<br>
input is a line on a triangulated surface (given as a sequence of vertex pairs<br>
indicating which mesh edges the line should cut, for example), I would like to<br>
split the triangles that the line passes through, eventually introducing new<br>
triangles in the mesh. Apparently there is the class vtkCutter, but I'm not<br>
sure that that's what should be used. Could you please point me to some<br>
examples if there are any? How should I feed my input line to vtk? Create a<br>
polyline perhaps?<br>
<br>
Thank you very much,<br>
<br>
