[vtk-developers] Status of AddActor(), AddActor2D(), AddVolume() vs AddViewProp()

[Bill Lorensen]

Actually, we have to keep vtkProp because of classes like
vtkPropPicker, vtkPropCollection, ...

Damn Microsoft.

I don't like ViewProp, never did. I guess we are stuck with it.

I hate to see AddActor go. It is a part of VTK's DNA.

For example, since the AddActor->AddViewProp change was done from VTK 4 to 5, such a refactoring would still allow the wiki examples to be VTK 5 & 6 compatible, whereas vtkProp->vtkViewProp would not, and would mean updating docs, the wiki, migration guide, etc.
