0013155: Patch for missing or asymmetric get functionality
There are some asymmetric or missing get macros/functions in vtk classes. In most cases this is no real issue, however, it is a bit annoying in our automatic wrapping process where we assume symmetric Set/Get functions (we need that for generating MeVisLab modules for quite an amount of vtk classes; see www.mevislab.de if you are interested in it). I also consider this a problem for python or tcl script wrapping processes.
The patch appended to this report adds many Get-Macros/Functions either because no Get functionality exists at all or - if there is any - the symmetry to the Set is not given.
It applies to the git checkout of the vtk 5.10 rc 1 tag.
No tags attached.

Sorry but this is a large and intrusive patch when there is no requirement for VTK to be symmetric in Set/Get methods.
