[vtkusers] vtkPLOT3dreader version discrepencies

[Ian Nowland]

Hello,

As you're no doubt aware by now from my previous messages, I am working 
with plot3d data. Much thanks to all who have helped me out so far.  As 
I've gotten to loading up the data and manipulating it, I've noticed a 
large discrepancy between the vtkPLOT3DReader class in my current 
version (4.4.2) and that described in the specs here (which is 
admittedly for a slightly different version):

http://www.vtk.org/doc/release/4.0/html/classvtkPLOT3DReader.html

The discrepancy I've noticed, however, is that a good number of the 
functions have been removed and cut out entirely, as if someone 
accidentally reverted the code to a much earlier version for this. Is 
there a reason for this (i.e. some new code taking the place of this 
older code, or incompatibilities with new code of a different sort) or 
was it indeed an accident of some sort?

I'm mostly just wondering out of curiosity. My workaround is simply to 
use an earlier version of the source code, of course.
