Summary:                    misspelled member function in vtkContourFilter
Description: 
This method is present in the vtkContourFilter:

void vtkContourFilter::SetOuputPointsPrecision(int precision)

The member name is missing a 't' after the 'u' and before the 'p'.  It should
be:

void vtkContourFilter::SetOutputPointsPrecision(int precision)

Also, the parameter is of type int, but shouldn't it be of type
vtkAlgorithm::DesiredOutputPrecision ?

There is also a misspelling in the Doxygen documentation, explanation is
spelled: "explaination".

Finally, on my machine, when I call
SetOuputPointsPrecision(vtkAlgorithm::DOUBLE_PRECISION), and then call  
contours->GetOutput()->Print(std::cout), I get:

      Name: scalars
      Data type: float

Which indicates that double is not being used when computing the scalars.  So it
seems that this member function isn't actually doing what it advertises, unless
I am misusing it or misunderstanding the documentation (very possibly the case).
 I am giving a vtkSampleFunction to vtkContourFilter, and I have called 
vtkSampleFunction::SetOutputScalarTypeToDouble().  Or perhaps the PrintSelf
method isn't properly implemented and the underlying data type is actually
correct?
