// .NAME vtkImageToPolyDataFilter - generate linear primitives (vtkPolyData) from an image
// .SECTION Description
// vtkImageToPolyDataFilter converts raster data (i.e., an image) into
// polygonal data (i.e., quads or n-sided polygons), with each polygon
// assigned a constant color. This is useful for writers that generate vector
// formats (i.e., CGM or PostScript). To use this filter, you specify how to
// quantize the color (or whether to use an image with a lookup table), and
// what style the output should be. The output is always polygons, but the
// choice is n x m quads (where n and m define the input image dimensions)
// "Pixelize" option; arbitrary polygons "Polygonalize" option; or variable
// number of quads of constant color generated along scan lines "RunLength"
// option.
//
// The algorithm quantizes color in order to create coherent regions that the
// polygons can represent with good compression. By default, the input image
// is quantized to 256 colors using a 3-3-2 bits for red-green-blue. However,
// you can also supply a single component image and a lookup table, with the
// single component assumed to be an index into the table.  (Note: a quantized
// image can be generated with the filter vtkImageQuantizeRGBToIndex.) The
// number of colors on output is equal to the number of colors in the input
// lookup table (or 256 if the built in linear ramp is used).
//
// The output of the filter is polygons with a single color per polygon cell.
// If the output style is set to "Polygonalize", the polygons may have an
// large number of points (bounded by something like 2*(n+m)); and the
// polygon may not be convex which may cause rendering problems on some
// systems (use vtkTriangleFilter). Otherwise, each polygon will have four
// vertices. The output also contains scalar data defining RGB color in
// unsigned char form.
//
// .SECTION Caveats
// The input linear lookup table must
// be of the form of 3-component unsigned char.
//
// This filter defines constant cell colors. If you have a plotting
// device that supports Gouraud shading (linear interpolation of color), then 
// superior algorithms are available for generating polygons from images.
//
// Note that many plotting devices/formats support only a limited number of
// colors.
