Detailed Description

Use finite differences to estimate gradient.

vtkFiniteDifferenceGradientEstimator is a concrete subclass of vtkEncodedGradientEstimator that uses a central differences technique to estimate the gradient. The gradient at some sample location (x,y,z) would be estimated by:

 nx = (f(x-dx,y,z) - f(x+dx,y,z)) / 2*dx;
 ny = (f(x,y-dy,z) - f(x,y+dy,z)) / 2*dy;
 nz = (f(x,y,z-dz) - f(x,y,z+dz)) / 2*dz;

This value is normalized to determine a unit direction vector and a magnitude. The normal is computed in voxel space, and dx = dy = dz = SampleSpacingInVoxels. A scaling factor is applied to convert this normal from voxel space to world coordinates.
