[vtk-developers] Rework vtkVoidArray

[Lorensen, William E (Research)]

Will,
Anyway to support the old methods also. There is code in at least one app
(Slicer) that needs the old tuple methods. Seems like they could be added
back in for compatibility.

Subject: [vtk-developers] Rework vtkVoidArray


Hi Folks-

I want to eliminate vtkVoidArray as a subclass of vtkDataArray. It's broken 
anyway---the CopyTuple (and any tuple-related methods) do not work or are 
empty. The TemplateMacros also ignore vtkVoidArray. Pretty much 
vtkVoidArray is not used anywhere and just confuses users.

I want to leave the class in VTK (since I have finally found a use for it), 
but I want it to be more like vtkIdList --- a special class to hold lists 
of pointers, but not for data processing in the pipeline.

Stop me now I'm actually coding again and I'm not inclined to take it slow
:-)

Will
