Greetings !

Are VTK filters member of a pipeline holding DataSets instances between each
of them ?
If i have a pipeline starting from a vtkPolyData instance, a
vtkPolyDataNormals, vtkAppendPolyData, vtkPolyDataMapper and vtkLODActor ...
    .. Does such a pipeline involves 4 or 5 instances of the initial dataset
? (i.e. One between each filter. )
    ... If yes, isn't there a way to clean a pileline ?

We're having troubles with the memory vtk seems to be using.
Instead of taking around 200 Mo for displaying a huge 3D model, our
application actually takes 1.2Go !!!

Thanks for any help !
