I figured that would be the case. Is there a reasonable way to make an
"alias" class in cases like this? Something like have
vtkTriangulateFilter simply call vtkTriangleFilter? This way it would
be backwards compatible but also easier to find.

What do you think about the auto-triangle-filtering of the input in DecimatePro?

Thanks,

David
