SGrid

// This example shows how to manually create a structured grid.
// The basic idea is to instantiate vtkStructuredGrid, set its dimensions,
// and then assign points defining the grid coordinate. The number of
// points must equal the number of points implicit in the dimensions
// (i.e., dimX*dimY*dimZ). Also, data attributes (either point or cell)
// can be added to the dataset.
