> I am writing a small C++ program, which contains: a voxel grid (nX \* nY \* nZ) a voxel (i,j,k) to 3D point (x,y,z) conversion matrix an array of 3D points (x,y,z) defining a closed surface As I am new to VTK, I was looking for help to see what would be the most efficient / shortest way to compute a boolean 3D matrix that tells me which points of the 3D voxel grid are inside the contour, and which ones are not. I would prefer not to use external batch-processes, just C++ API libraries like VTK …
