[vtk-developers] PROPOSAL: Changing VTK's indentation style

[David Lonie]

Well, if we're changing it anyway...

I'd prefer

void func()
{
  if (...) {
    ...
  }
  else {
    ...
  }
}

Less wasted vertical space = more code on the screen, and it's a common
style with great editor support. I've always been a fan of the Qt coding
style.

That said, either would be fine with me.
