Selection in an application over VTK

Use Case Description

  1. I have two windows in the application. A VTK (QVTK) window with a vtkDataset, and a QTreeView.
  2. I want to select something in my VTK view and have the selection show up in my Qt View
  3. I want to select something in my Qt view and have the selection show up in my VTK View
  4. I want to select something in my Qt view and create a new vtk dataset that is a subset of the current dataset.

So I will need functionality in VTK and a utility library that will allow me to 'get' and 'set' the current selectionSet from my application. I will also need a filter in VTK that takes a selectionSet and a vtkDataset and produces a vtkDataset. This filter will be like vtkThreshold. Also it will need to have an In/Out ivar... meaning that I may want the selected items or everything but the selected items to come out as output.
