// .NAME vtkSelectionConverter - converts one selection type to another
// .SECTION Description
// vtkSelectionConverter can be used to convert from one selection type
// to another. Currently, it only supports conversion from a 'surface'
// geometry selection to a 'volume' selection. It does this by looking for a
// pedigree array called vtkOriginalCellIds that says what 3D cell produced
// each selected 2D surface cell. The input selection must have
// SOURCE_ID() and ORIGINAL_SOURCE_ID() properties set. The SOURCE_ID()
// corresponds to the geometry filter whereas the ORIGINAL_SOURCE_ID()
// corresponds to the input of the geometry filter. The output selection
// will have SOURCE_ID() corresponding to the input of the geometry filter
// (what was ORIGINAL_SOURCE_ID()).
