Summary:                    vtkDijkstraGraphGeodesicPath returns GeodesicLength
of 0.0 (always)
Description: 
This is the implementation (obviously incorrect) of the function
GetGeodesicLength:

virtual double GetGeodesicLength() { return 0.0; }

This was already discussed in 2010, however, it was never resolved:
http://www.vtk.org/pipermail/vtkusers/2010-May/109205.html

I think this function should at least be commented out/removed, if not
implemented. It has caused me some head scratching, and will surely do the same
for somebody else.
