[Paraview-developers] Removal of ExecuteData(...)

[Schlottke, Michael]

Hi again,

I am trying to follow the VTK guide (http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/VTK/VTK_6_Migration/Removal_of_Execute) on migrating a set of ParaView plugins from VTK 5 to VTK 6.

Just to be sure, what would be the correct way to replace the following implementation:

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
void vtkMyAlgorithmSubclass::ExecuteData(vtkDataObject *output)
{
  if (output && this->UpdateExtentIsEmpty(output))
    {
    output->Initialize();
    return;
    }

  this->Execute();
}
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Can I just move this whole code into RequestData (and use the vtkDataObject* output as a downcast from my output info object)? Is the call to Execute() still needed in this case?

Thanks!

Michael
