[vtkusers] vtkDecimate / vtk5.0

[David Cole]

In VTK 5.0, there are at least three classes related specifically to 
decimation... :
http://www.vtk.org/doc/nightly/html/classvtkDecimatePro.html
http://www.vtk.org/doc/nightly/html/classvtkGreedyTerrainDecimation.html
http://www.vtk.org/doc/nightly/html/classvtkQuadricDecimation.html

My guess is that one of these is considered to have superceded 
vtkDecimate and so vtkDecimate was dropped...

(I found these by searching for "decimat" on the main class list page at 
http://www.vtk.org/doc/nightly/html/annotated.html)

HTH,
David
