[vtk-developers] Image rendering bug?

[David Gobbi]

Hi Ben,

The missing border has to do with interpolation.  Texture borders are
a tricky issue, and by clipping away the border, the vtkImageActor
avoids the issue altogether.

My new image rendering classes (in the git master) provide a
BorderOn/BorderOff flag:
