vtkPointSetToPointSetFilter - abstract filter class

Super Class: vtkPointSetFilter

Description:

vtkPointSetToPointSetFilter is an abstract filter class whose subclasses take as input a point set and generates a point set on output. At a minimum, the concrete subclasses of vtkPointSetToPointSetFilter modify their point coordinates. They never modify their topological form, however. This is an abstract filter type. What that means is that the output of the filter is an abstract type (i.e., vtkPointSet), no matter what the input of the filter is. This can cause problems connecting together filters due to the change in dataset type. (For example, in a series of filters processing vtkPolyData, when a vtkPointSetToPointSetFilter or subclass is introduced into the pipeline, if the filter downstream of it takes vtkPolyData as input, the pipeline connection cannot be made.) To get around this problem, use one of the convenience methods to return a concrete type (e.g., vtkGetPolyDataOutput(), GetStructuredGridOutput(), etc.).
