1) I'm not sure I follow. Isn't vtkTriangle an "object", not a "source" or
"filter"?
2) That is likely the case and that is exactly my point here -
vtkMeshQuality (or anything else) should not have to implement this code, it
should just be able to call ComputeArea() on a triangle object.

Thanks,

David
