These tests failed before my changes and after:
The following tests FAILED:
         93 - SurfacePlusEdges (Failed)
        105 - TestLabelPlacementMapper (SEGFAULT)

but everything else passes with the changes. Here are the files:

I wasn't sure how to get a vtkPoints from a vtkDataSet, so I did this:

void vtkTextureMapToPlane::ComputeNormal(vtkDataSet *input)
{
  vtkSmartPointer<vtkPoints> Points = vtkSmartPointer<vtkPoints>::New();
  for(unsigned int i = 0; i < input->GetNumberOfPoints(); i++)
    {
    double p[3];
    input->GetPoint(i, p);
    Points->InsertNextPoint(p);
    }

which surely can be replaced.

Thoughts?

Thanks,

David
