Summary0013050: vtkPLOT3DReader missing in VTK 6.0
DescriptionI note this class is missing in the origin/master of VTK (VTK6.0), however vtklibrary.xml and vtkclasses.xml refer to it. The only other reference I can find to it being missing is: http://vtk.org/Wiki/VTK/VTK6/Migration/WikiExamples [^]
Is this because it has not been converted yet to VTK6.0?

The two files mentioned are used for infovis examples. They used to be generated from the Python wrapping, however, given changes in the python wrapping this is no longer possible. So these checked in files are a historical snapshot. My proposed solution is to rename them to include a version number for the VTK version they were created from to avoid an confusion?

I assume you are referring to vtklibrary.xml and vtkclasses.xml as being generated from Python wrapping. However vtkPLOT3DReader.h and vtkPLOT3DReader.cxx are missing in VTK 6 but are present in earlier versions, e.g. VTK 5.8. So had vtkPLOT3DReader been dropped for VTK 6 or is this just an oversight?

No this was a planned deprecation of vtkPLOT3DReader.
