The operating system will free all application memory when the thread is<br>
terminated, so all memory assigned to your vtk objects will also be freed.<br>
If you don't delete your objects, you will only get memory leaks while the<br>
application is running. If you are just running a short script you *could*<br>
not bother deleting your objects.... although it is good practice to do so.<br>
