[vtk-developers] Proposal: Supporting Arrays With Arbitrary Memory Layouts

[Utkarsh Ayachit]

Folks,

As the recent VTK release roadmap alluded to, we're looking into
refactoring the zero-copy/mapped arrays infrastructure in VTK to allow for
arbitrary layouts with easier ways of adding new array types, and minimal
overhead iterator access.

While this is still under development, I wanted to put the draft for the
current design/implementation out so folks can review and provide feedback.

If everything goes smoothly, the plan is to deprecate Mapped Arrays and
supporting classes in VTK 6.3 and replace it with the proposed Generic
Arrays in VTK 7.0.
