Summary0003115: vtkPolyDataConnectivityFilter treats seeded regions as one
DescriptionI think I found a bug in vtkPolyDataConnectivityFilter, or at least
misleading documentation.

The Documentation for mode 4 says "4) extract all regions sharing
specified cell ids;" To me this means that the list of seed IDs will be
used to seed different regions. GetNumberOfExtractedRegions should give
me the number of seeds, and the regions should be colored differently if
SetColorRegions is on. This is not what happens. Instead
GetNumberOfExtractedRegions returns 1, and all the regions are given the
same region number.

After looking at Graphics/vtkPolyDataConnectivityFilter.cxx I see the
comment on line 202, "regions have been seeded, everything considered in
same region" So I think it's the documentation that is wrong, for the
simple reason that it's easier to fix. A second connectivity filter with
SetExtractionModeToAllRegions will get what I want.

I think a solution would be a line in the documentation that seeded regions will all be considered to have the same ID but a seccond connectivity filter can then add the abilities of extract all regions.
