Hi all,

I am working on a programmable filter and I want to extract and analyze data 
generated by an isosurface. I'm having a hard time coming up with generic data 
to represent what I mean, but I'll try to describe it. 

I run my data and generate an isosurface for a single value. The resulting 
isosurface generates disconnected/independent blobs in space. I've attached an 
image of what it looks like. I would like to take each of those independent 
surfaces and manipulate them (compute volume of each, or maximum cross 
sectional area, or find a central axis, or delete them based on the computed 
volume, etc) but I can't figure out how to extract the data I need through VTK. 
I have the vtkPolyData array as well as the normals array, but I cannot figure 
out how to use that information to isolate and extract the independent 
surfaces. 

Does anybody have any suggestions or examples I can look at on how to 
manipulate the data?

Thanks,

Tim
