Hi,
Is there an input file that comes with this vtkCutter c++ example: [https://lorensen.github.io/VTKExamples/site/Cxx/VisualizationAlgorithms/CutWithCutFunction/](https://lorensen.github.io/VTKExamples/site/Cxx/VisualizationAlgorithms/CutWithCutFunction/)
And is it possible to create an incomplete planar cut as shown here:

The file used is **Torso.vtp** and is found in `VTKExamples/src/Testing/Data/`. If you look in the **CMakeLists.txt** file in `VTKExamples/src/Cxx/VisualizationAlgorithms/` you can see the parameters used to test this file.
As a general guide, test files are found in `VTKExamples/src/Testing/Data/` and for some examples like this one it is a good idea to look in the **CMakeLists.txt** file in the folder where the source files are found.
I have updated this example to indicate the default parameters used and also added a Python example.

Thank you.
