// .NAME vtkRendererSource - take a renderer into the pipeline
// .SECTION Description
// vtkRendererSource is a source object that gets its input from a 
// renderer and converts it to structured points. This can then be 
// used in a visualization pipeline. You must explicitly send a 
// Modify() to this object to get it to reload its data from the
// renderer. Consider using vtkWindowToImageFilter instead of this
// class.
//
// The data placed into the output is the renderer's image rgb values.
// Optionally, you can also grab the image depth (e.g., z-buffer) values, and
// place then into the output (point) field data.

// .SECTION see also
// vtkWindowToImageFilter vtkRenderer vtkStructuredPoints
