StructuredGridOutline

vtk-examples/Java/StructuredGrid/StructuredGridOutline

Description

[vtkStructuredGrid](https://www.vtk.org/doc/nightly/html/classvtkStructuredGrid.html#details)OutlineFilter object is a filter that generates a wireframe outline of a structured grid (vtkStructuredGrid).

Structured data is topologically a cube, so the outline will have 12 "edges".
