[vtkusers] Avoiding deep copying of LUT's

[John Platt]

Hi Users,

 

I have a C++ object that is a common source of a lookup table, LUT, for
my VTK objects. This table can be one of two tables LUT1 or LUT2. Each
time the table is changed I do

 

LUT->DeepCopy( LUT1 ) or 

LUT->DeepCopy( LUT2 )

 

so that LUT always has the latest table for the VTK object.

 

This works OK but doesn't follow the usual elegance of the VTK API - is
there a better way?

 

ShallowCopy() has not been implemented. Is there a particular reason for
this?

 

I also noticed that DeepCopy() does not change the MTime so Modified()
must be called after the copy.

 

No complaints - just curious :-)

 

John.
