[vtkusers] How to generate a plane from three arbitrary points

[David Gobbi]

No, just call the method.  It is static, so you don't have to generate a
triangle object.

// Description:
// Compute the triangle normal from three points.
static void vtkTriangle::ComputeNormal(double v1[3], double v2[3], double
v3[3], double n[3]);
