[vtk-developers] Volume cropping region representation

[Dean Inglis]

Hi David,

1> vtkVolumeCroppingOutline
2> vtkVolumeCroppingRegionSource
3> vtkVolumeCroppingRegionOutline
4> vtkVolumeCroppingRepresentation

I prefer 1 as it is the shortest and next would be 2 since it lets the user 
know it
is a source object.  Regarding 4, <prefix>Representation is most
often associated with Widgets and their representations (although
there are some classes in Geovis, GUISupport/Qt, Views, and Rendering).
