Summary0010972: vtkDataSet::GetDataObjectType is not virtual
DescriptionvtkDataSet::GetDataObjectType should be a virtual method, it is not currently.

Because it's not virtual, if you have an object of type vtkDataSet then you have to already know what derived type is and down cast it in order to get the right return value from this method making it pretty much useless for determining the object's type.

GetDataObjectType() is declared as virtual in the superclass vtkDataObject, therefore it is virtual even if the virtual keyword is not mentioned in vtkDataSet.
