[Paraview] It is worth to learn KWWidgets?

[Wylie, Brian]

I'll let someone else answer the question about KWWidgets, but I do want to follow up on one of the 'Check This!' sections in your slides... :)


You wanted a check on the following statement...

"Data does not "flow" along the pipeline. Each fillter has its
own copy of data, created from its input data. CHECK THIS!"

This statement (as you indicated) needs further qualification.

Most filters actually make a 'shallow copy' of the data and only 'deep copy' parts of the dataset that are modified or added. So if I have 3 filters working on a dataset, the data really does 'flow' from one filter to the other without being copied (most of the time).

Hope that's helpful. :)
