[vtk-developers] MakeObject Deprecated

[John Biddiscombe]

It appears that MakeObject is being deprecated

Where once one did

vtkPoints *newPts = (vtkPoints*)(input->GetPoints()->MakeObject());

Does one now do

char *name = input->GetPoints()->GetClassName();
vtkPoints *newPts =
dynamic_cast<vtkPoints*>(ObjectFactory::CreateInstance(name));
if (newPts) newPts->SetDataType(input->GetPoints()->GetDataType());
else vtkErrorMacro(<<"It used to be so much easier");

Or is there a less tedious way?
