This example demonstrates how to convert an unstructured grid to a polydata. Currently nothing is done with the resulting polydata. If someone has a good data set that demonstrates the conversion, please let us know.

Perform a Delaunay triangulation on a sphere. Show it in wireframe so one can see all of the internal edges. Then run the filter and show that the result is only the outer surface.
