[vtk-developers] Removing include files

[Miller, James V (Research)]

I understand it in general.  But if my program is not explictly creating or calling a method on an
ImageData, why should I have to include the header?

Hi Jim-

I really don't like it either, but it is the right thing to do. If we don't do this the compile times
go up and some compilers can't handle the amount of including going on. C'est la vie.

to add include lines my applications for vtkImageData.h and vtkPolyData.h because they have been
removed
from some VTK headers.
 
My program was pretty simple.  It just wired up filters and mappers, etc.  I never explicitly
instantiated
a vtkPolyData or a vtkImageData nor do I have any methods that take pointers to these classes 
(and hence make API calls to a PolyData or ImageData).
 
It seems a little extreme that I need I now need to include vtkImageData.h and vtkPolyData.h when
I am just using standard pipeline processing.
