[vtkusers] apply filter multiple times

[Martin Genet]

Dear all:

I am having some issue setting up a rather complex pipeline involving, 
but not exclusively, vtk objects and filters. I think basically the 
issue boils down to this: I create an unstructured grid with some vector 
field, warp it, modify the vector field (outside vtk), warp it again, 
etc. Pretty basic, right? Of course I do not want to reallocate an 
unstructured grid for the warped mesh each time I run the warp filter, 
but rather modify the one that is allocated the first time I run the 
warp filter. Makes sense? I have done this many times, for pipelines 
that only involve vtk stuff. However, I am not sure how to do this for 
pipelines involving non-vtk operations. Attached is a minimal example: I 
create a sphere, warp it along the normals, scale the normals, warp it 
again using the already existing warp filter (here the scaling is not 
taken into account for some reason), and warp it using a new warp filter 
(here it is, but I guess it creates a new object instead of modifying 
the existing one, right?). This seem like a trivial issue, but I cannot 
seem to figure it out. Can someone help me? Thank you so much.

Martin
