[Paraview] Extract region enclosed by isocontour surface and slice

[Shuhao Wu]

Thanks for the help! That worked like a charm.

One more question: after I extracted my point of maximum via a 
programmable filter, I have a PolyData of 1 point only. Is there a way 
to display this point in the 3D render view? I can't seem to get the 
point to render via a Geometric Representation.

Thanks,
Shuhao
