Summary:                    vtkArrayCalculator fails when input is vtkGraph or
its subclasses
Description: 
The interface of vtkArrayCalculator includes methods
SetAttributeModeToUse{Cell|Vertex}Data, suggesting it is intended to work with
vtkGraph and its subclasses.  However, vtkArrayCalculator is a subclass of
vtkDataSetAlgorithm, and attempting to  apply the filter to a graph leads to
pipeline errors when it cannot generate an object for the output port compatible
with the input class.

Either the interface should be adjusted to remove reference to Cell/Vertex data,
or the filter needs to be modified, perhaps moving under vtkDataObjectAlgorithm.

If needs be, I have a small python script that demonstrates the problem.
