Just one more suggestion regarding the color topic:<br>
<br>
Consider supporting "Recognized color keyword names" (Section 4.2 of <a
href="http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/types.html">http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/types.html</a>)
as a base set of "pre-defined" colors. Alternatively, perhaps there's
some other already defined standard that might be more appropriate in
VTK's case. Remarkably, the "named colors" found in Microsoft's .NET
framework System.Drawing.Colors, the KnownColor enumeration, appear to
be derived largely from the SVG named colors... Or perhaps it's just
coincidence that the lists both begin with AliceBlue, AntiqueWhite,
Aqua and Aquamarine... :-)<br>

<pre wrap="">itk has started using the Wiki to discuss enhancements and additions to itk.

The use of the Wiki for proposed extensions is just an experiment. Also, itk has an oversight committee that reviews proposals and APIP changes. This is also new and in the formative stages.
The nice thing about the Wiki (over mailing lists) is that it serves as a record of the proposal discussion and refinement. Look at the on-going proposal for supporting orientation in images...

Having a vtkColor generation class is certainly a reasonable idea. If
you implement one please post the interface to this list for
comments/discussion. Once it is finished you can submit a feature
request here:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.vtk.org/Bug">http://www.vtk.org/Bug</a>
and then go back in and add the source files to the report.
