Hi Lia,
 that's not quite what I intended. I'll you a few more explicit suggestions:

1) all the algorithms in vmtk are already in C++. The fact that you're using 
them
in vmtk scripts is just for convenience. Note that this does not impose *any* 
overhead,
speed-wise.

2) make sure you understand why you need to have a C++-only code. Is
it for speed only? See point 1). Is if because you want to incorporate vmtk in
a purely C++ program? This would make more sense.

3) every algorithm in vmtk is a VTK class. If you know how to program in C++ 
using VTK,
you know how to program in C++ using vmtk. So, make sure you are proficient 
writing
VTK code before you move on with vmtk. There's a great resource of examples 
here:
http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/VTK/Examples/Cxx

4) Once you have addressed 1-3, have a look into vmtk/vmtkScripts and identify 
the scripts 
you're interested in and take a look at what classes are used. For instance, 
the code for 
vmtksurfacetriangle is

        cleaner = vtk.vtkCleanPolyData()
        cleaner.SetInput(self.Surface)
        cleaner.Update()

        triangleFilter = vtk.vtkTriangleFilter()
        triangleFilter.SetInput(cleaner.GetOutput())
        triangleFilter.Update()

        self.Surface = triangleFilter.GetOutput()

which in C++ would become

        vtkCleanPolyData* cleaner = vtkCleanPolyData::New();
        cleaner->SetInput(surface);
        cleaner->Update();

        vtkTriangleFilter* triangleFilter = vtkTriangleFilter::New();
        triangleFilter->SetInput(cleaner->GetOutput());
        triangleFilter->Update();

        surface = triangleFilter->GetOutput();

As you see, the high-level code is almost exactly the same, and in both
cases, the call to Update triggers code that is already written in C++.

Hope this helps clarifying, but most of all, what you should clarify is point 
2, i.e. what
is the need you're trying to address when you say you want pure C++ code.

Best regards

Luca
