[vtk-developers] Best fit plane function location

If you'll recall, a while back we tried to add a BestFitFroMPoints function
to vtkPlane. This caused some issues with cross-library linkage. Is this big
enough to make a separate class: vtkBestFitPlane (or maybe
vtkLeastSquaresPlane)?

I noticed that there is no vtkImplicitFunctionAlgorithm, so is this usually
not done?

I'm thinking something like:
vtkPoints* points = vtkPoints::New();
// ... fill points....
vtkBestFitPlane bestFitFilter = vtkBestFitPlane::New();
bestFitFilter->SetInput(points);
bestFitFilter->Update();

vtkPlane* bestPlane = bestFitFilter->GetOutput();

Thoughts?

Thanks,

David
