Summary	0012973: The vtkMath::Pi() method should return double, not float, in VTK 6.0.
Description	I found 62 classes that call vtkMath::Pi(). Only one of them, vtkExodusReader, seemed to have a reason for using a single-precision value. The others should be taking advantage of the extra precision of a double-precision Pi value, but for some reason they aren't calling vtkMath::DoublePi(). Rather than change all these classes so that they call vtkMath::DoublePi(), it makes more sense for vtkMath::Pi() to return a double, and to deprecate vtkMath::DoublePi(). Considering how close VTK 5.10 is to release, it is probably best if this change is delayed until VTK 6.0.
