DESCRIPTION
vtkCutter is a filter to cut through data using any subclass of vtkImplicitFunction. That is, a polygonal surface is created corresponding to the implicit function F(x,y,z) = value(s), where you can specify one or more values used to cut with.

SUMMARY
void SetGenerateCutScalars(int)
If this flag is enabled, then the output scalar values will be interpolated from the implicit function values, and not the input scalar data.
void SetSortBy(int)
Set the sorting order for the generated polydata. There are two Sort by value = 0 - This is the most efficient sort. For each cell, all contour values are processed. This is the default. Sort by cell = 1 - For each contour value, all cells are processed. This order should be used if the extracted polygons must be rendered in a back-to-front or front-to-back order. This is very problem dependent. For most applications, the default order is fine (and faster).
char *GetSortByAsString(void)
Create default locator. Used to create one when none is specified. The locator is used to merge coincident points. Return the sorting procedure as a descriptive character string.

unsigned long GetMTime()
void SetLocator(vtkPointLocator *locator)
Set a particular contour value at contour number i. The index i ranges between 0<=i
Get the ith contour value.
Get a pointer to an array of contour values. There will be GetNumberOfContours() values in the list.
Fill a supplied list with contour values. There will be GetNumberOfContours() values in the list. Make sure you allocate enough memory to hold the list.
Set the number of contours to place into the list. You only really need to use this method to reduce list size. The method SetValue() will automatically increase list size as needed.
Get the number of contours in the list of contour values.
Generate numContours equally spaced contour values between specified range. Contour values will include min/max range values.
Generate numContours equally spaced contour values between specified range. Contour values will include min/max range values.
Construct with user-specified implicit function; initial value of 0.0; and generating cut scalars turned off.
Overload standard modified time function. If cut functions is modified, or contour values modified, then this object is modified as well.
Specify a spatial locator for merging points. By default, an instance of vtkMergePoints is used.
