<!-- Converted from text/plain format -->
<P><FONT SIZE=2>That brings up an interesting point... vtkErrorMacro doesn't<BR>
use 'this' directly but rather calls vtkErrorWithObjectMacro.<BR>
Does Kitware advise/support the use of vtkErrorWithObjectMacro<BR>
directly? I ask because there are times when I'm writing a<BR>
static function where 'this' isn't defined but there is a<BR>
pointer to *some* vtkObject-derived class. Should I be calling<BR>
vtkGenericWarningMacro or vtkErrorWithObjectMacro in those<BR>
instances (pun intended)?<BR>
<BR>
Thanks,<BR>
