// .NAME vtkGeometryFilter - extract geometry from data (or convert data to polygonal type)
// .SECTION Description
// vtkGeometryFilter is a general-purpose filter to extract geometry (and 
// associated data) from any type of dataset. Geometry is obtained as 
// follows: all 0D, 1D, and 2D cells are extracted. All 2D faces that are 
// used by only one 3D cell (i.e., boundary faces) are extracted. It also is 
// possible to specify conditions on point ids, cell ids, and on 
// bounding box (referred to as "Extent") to control the extraction process.
//
// This filter also may be used to convert any type of data to polygonal
// type. The conversion process may be less than satisfactory for some 3D
// datasets. For example, this filter will extract the outer surface of a 
// volume or structured grid dataset. (For structured data you may want to
// use vtkImageDataGeometryFilter, vtkStructuredGridGeometryFilter,
// vtkExtractUnstructuredGrid, vtkRectilinearGridGeometryFilter, or 
// vtkExtractVOI.)

// .SECTION Caveats
// When vtkGeometryFilter extracts cells (or boundaries of cells) it
// will (by default) merge duplicate vertices. This may cause problems
// in some cases. For example, if you've run vtkPolyDataNormals to
// generate normals, which may split meshes and create duplicate
// vertices, vtkGeometryFilter will merge these points back
// together. Turn merging off to prevent this from occurring.

// vtkExtractGeometry vtkExtractVOI
