[vtkusers] Create Multiple slices using vtkCutter and output all the slices into a single polydata file

[Ng Hong Wan]

I am using a cutter to cut through the slice of a human head at
different z intervals using vtkcutter. Doing that requires a loop that
will create many cutedges, when I output it using vtkpolywriter, it will
create many files as well, is there a way to combine the all the slices
together??

set i 0
while {$i < 10} {
    incr i

vtkPlane plane$i
    plane$i SetOrigin 0 0 $i
    plane$i SetNormal 0 0 1

vtkCutter cutEdges$i; #Generate cut lines
  cutEdges$i SetInput [normals GetOutput]
  cutEdges$i SetCutFunction plane$i
  cutEdges$i GenerateCutScalarsOn
  cutEdges$i SetValue 0 0.5
}

set i 0
while {$i < 140} {
    incr i

   vtkPolyDataWriter pdw
   pdw SetInput [cutStrips1 GetOutput]
   pdw SetFileName test.pdw
   pdw Write

}
