[vtk-developers] [proposal] Purge() method for vtkTable

[Pebay, Philippe P]

Utkarsh, Jeff,

Thanks for your answers. 

I agree, a SetNumberOfMethods() would also work--and be more general. It does not exist yet. 
Shall I implement it?

There is no such method yet (just GetNumberOfRows), but I would prefer an implementation of that more general method rather than just Purge().

Wouldn't SetNumberOfRows(0) do the trick?
