<div dir="ltr">Thanks Jon and Sankhesh. This definitely sounds like the way to go. I will do a little more research on remote modules with the links you provided. I will try to coordinate with you guys to get these classes moved into a remote module before they get deprecated. Can we start on this before they get deprecated, or should we wait until deprecation actually happens?<div><br></div><div>Thanks.</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, May 31, 2018 at 10:19 AM, Sankhesh Jhaveri <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:sankhesh.jhaveri@kitware.com" target="_blank">sankhesh.jhaveri@kitware.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div class="m_-1251380436324542316markdown-here-wrapper" style="font-family:"Lucida Sans",Cantarell,Verdana,sans-serif;color:rgb(11,83,148)"><p style="margin:0px 0px 1.2em!important">Hi Donny,</p>
<p style="margin:0px 0px 1.2em!important">Jon beat me to a response. :)<br>But yes, we could possibly check-in the <code style="font-size:0.95em;font-family:Consolas,Inconsolata,Courier,monospace;margin:0px 0.15em;padding:0px 0.3em;white-space:pre-wrap;border:1px solid rgb(218,218,218);background-color:rgb(232,232,232);border-radius:3px;display:inline">module.remote.cmake</code> script to the VTK repository for vtkGeoVis remote module. Although, I am not sure how useful it would be given that we know of only one user. The remote module infrastructure allows you to drop your own custom <code style="font-size:0.95em;font-family:Consolas,Inconsolata,Courier,monospace;margin:0px 0.15em;padding:0px 0.3em;white-space:pre-wrap;border:1px solid rgb(218,218,218);background-color:rgb(232,232,232);border-radius:3px;display:inline">module.remote.cmake</code> scripts to your local checkout of VTK source tree. Just by virtue of having this cmake file in the <code style="font-size:0.95em;font-family:Consolas,Inconsolata,Courier,monospace;margin:0px 0.15em;padding:0px 0.3em;white-space:pre-wrap;border:1px solid rgb(218,218,218);background-color:rgb(232,232,232);border-radius:3px;display:inline"><VTK src>/Remote</code> directory would add a flag for the module to the VTK configuration step. You can read all about it on the wiki page: <a href="https://www.vtk.org/Wiki/VTK/Remote_Modules" target="_blank">https://www.vtk.org/Wiki/VTK/<wbr>Remote_Modules</a></p>
<p style="margin:0px 0px 1.2em!important">Having said that, this is still a ways from now. The next major version (VTK 9) would just deprecate the classes. They would be removed from VTK in the version that follows - 9.1?. Once they’re removed, you’ll need the remote module for using them.</p>
<p style="margin:0px 0px 1.2em!important">Hope that helps.<br>Sankhesh</p>

yes, the remote modules are available to any VTK user by checking the<br>
corresponding checkbox/making the corresponding flag be ON in<br>
CMake/CMakeLists.txt.<br>
<br>
The current remotes are available under the Module group of CMake.<br>
<br>
The examples Andrew identified could also be part of the remote module.<br>
<br>
If the classes that should be transferred to the remote are all those<br>
Sankhesh listed, and we are set to go, I can help you in the process.<br>
