PolyDataConnectivityFilter SpecifiedRegion

vtk-examples/CSharp/PolyData/PolyDataConnectivityFilter_SpecifiedRegion

Description

This example creates two spheres and combines them together into one polydata. The vtkPolyDataConnectivityFilter is used to find the two spheres as they are separate regions (disconnected). If region 0 is selected, the small sphere is extracted. If region 1 is selected, the large sphere is extracted.
