[vtk-developers] vtkChemistry review / vtkVector

[David Lonie]

Hi Marcus,

I've finished rebasing the vtkChemistry branch and will push it in a
moment. Fortunately it went very smoothly, as the kit is separated
from the rest of VTK. I expect that porting it to the modular branch
should be straightforward as well.

I've run the tests, and everything looks ok. I believe I sent you the
files needed for VTKData a while back -- let me know if I need to
track down and resend the files needed for the rendering tests. The
baseline images also need to be generated and committed, IIRC -- this
may be tricky for the volume renderings, which I've noticed look
different depending on hardware capabilities.

I coded around the missing vtkVector functionality in these patches.
Specifically, I noticed the following features missing:

- scalar multiplication
- unitary minus / negation
- vector addition
- vector subtraction

It may also be worthwhile to pull out and use the test that I had in
my abandoned vtkVector commit, since it tested a lot of the math
functionality:
