<p class=MsoNormal>Folks,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>We were using it on a project to remove duplicate points
(tolerance == 0), and found out yesterday it wasn’t doing what we wanted.
That is, the vtkPoints it creates to replace the input vtkPoints defaults to points
of type VTK_FLOAT (our input is double, and we need the extra precision). Seems
to be an error to me. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The most obvious thing to do would be to have the output vtkPoints
be of the same type as the input… but that does mean it will slightly
change the behavior of the filter (won’t always be VTK_FLOAT points on
output). Could instead add a flag that if ON would create output points which
are the same type as the input (defaults to OFF).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Am I over thinking this one?<o:p></o:p></p>
