[vtk-developers] Proposed refactoring of locators

[Berk Geveci]

Hi folks,

We have had a long standing issue with the performance of point and
cell locators. We are working on addressing this by developing
adaptive (octree, K-D tree and BSP tree) point and cell locators.
Adding these classes in a way that they are accessible by all filters
will require some re-architecturing of the locator hierarchy. I
summarized these in the wiki page below. Please let us know if you
have any comments or suggestions.
