[vtk-developers] Lazy vtkPoints & vtkPoints2D MTime management

[Joachim Pouderoux]

Hi all,

I felt in a trap with a vtkPoints2D object - but vtkPoints has the same
behaviour - due to the fact that neither Reset nor SetNumberOfPoints method
call Modified(). This is important because GetBounds (and ComputeBounds
more precisely) caches the bounding boxes using MTime. So basically if you
reuse a vtkPoints(2D) object, the bounding box will not be updated unless
you think to call Modified by yourself whereas you could imagine that Reset
and SetNumberOfPoints methods are important enough to change the MTime tag.
Would you see any inconvenience if I add this Modified call in those 2
methods and in Initialize() too.

Best,
