[vtk-developers] Volume cropping region representation

[Francois Bertel]

If it's a source, I think the name has to contain the word Source
(except of course if you can find an existing counter-example in VTK
to demonstrate that the rule is not mandatory).

It's easier to search for a specific class when you look for *Source*,
*Reader*, *Writer*, *Importer*, *Exporter*, *Mapper*, ...
