[vtkusers] Array for vtkPoints?

[David Gobbi]

Hi Ambar,

There is a VTK class called vtkCollection that can hold an array of
vtkObjects, but it has a poor user interface so I can't really recommend it.

Most people use a vector of smart pointers, like this:

vtkstd::vector<vtkSmartPointer<vtkPoints> > pointVector;

You can add to the vector like this:

points = vtkPoints::New();
// add all points
pointVector.push_back(points);
points->Delete();

The "Delete()" is bookkeeping for the garbage collector.  After you push the
points onto pointsVector, the pointsVector owns the reference so you have to
delete the local reference.
