[Paraview] Using VTK Filters with Programmable Filter

[livia.barazzetti at istb.unibe.ch]

Hi,
I have a question about the use of vtk filter. At page 91 of the paraview manual included in the binaries download,  it is suggested to make a copy of the input (
input_copy = inputs[0].NewInstance()
input_copy.UnRegister(None)
input_copy.ShallowCopy(inputs[0].VTKObject) ) , but the reference is to the previous  version of VTK. Does this still hold for VTK 6?
In the paraview guide available for download  under "documentation", this issue is not mentioned (but the guide is also shorter). I have been using the filter without making copy of the input and I haven't the impression of memory leaks in my code
