// .NAME vtkSelectPolyData - select portion of polygonal mesh; generate selection scalars
// .SECTION Description
// vtkSelectPolyData is a filter that selects polygonal data based on
// defining a "loop" and indicating the region inside of the loop. The
// mesh within the loop consists of complete cells (the cells are not
// cut). Alternatively, this filter can be used to generate scalars.
// These scalar values, which are a distance measure to the loop, can
// be used to clip, contour. or extract data (i.e., anything that an
// implicit function can do). 
//
// The loop is defined by an array of x-y-z point coordinates.
// (Coordinates should be in the same coordinate space as the input
// polygonal data.) The loop can be concave and non-planar, but not
// self-intersecting. The input to the filter is a polygonal mesh
// (only surface primitives such as triangle strips and polygons); the
// output is either a) a portion of the original mesh laying within
// the selection loop (GenerateSelectionScalarsOff); or b) the same
// polygonal mesh with the addition of scalar values
// (GenerateSelectionScalarsOn).
//
// The algorithm works as follows. For each point coordinate in the
// loop, the closest point in the mesh is found. The result is a loop
// of closest point ids from the mesh. Then, the edges in the mesh
// connecting the closest points (and laying along the lines forming
// the loop) are found. A greedy edge tracking procedure is used as
// follows. At the current point, the mesh edge oriented in the
// direction of and whose end point is closest to the line is
// chosen. The edge is followed to the new end point, and the
// procedure is repeated. This process continues until the entire loop
// has been created. 
// 
// To determine what portion of the mesh is inside and outside of the
// loop, three options are possible. 1) the smallest connected region,
// 2) the largest connected region, and 3) the connected region
// closest to a user specified point. (Set the ivar SelectionMode.)
// 
// Once the loop is computed as above, the GenerateSelectionScalars
// controls the output of the filter. If on, then scalar values are
// generated based on distance to the loop lines. Otherwise, the cells
// laying inside the selection loop are output. By default, the mesh
// lying within the loop is output; however, if InsideOut is on, then
// the portion of the mesh lying outside of the loop is output.
//
// The filter can be configured to generate the unselected portions of
// the mesh as output by setting GenerateUnselectedOutput. Use the
// method GetUnselectedOutput to access this output. (Note: this flag
// is pertinent only when GenerateSelectionScalars is off.)

// .SECTION Caveats
// Make sure that the points you pick are on a connected surface. If
// not, then the filter will generate an empty or partial result. Also,
// self-intersecting loops will generate unpredictable results.
//
// During processing of the data, non-triangular cells are converted to
// triangles if GenerateSelectionScalars is off.
