VTK/VTK 6 Migration/Removal of SetExtentTranslator

Removal of SetExtentTranslator and GetExtentTranslator from vtkDataObject

VTK 6 introduces a number of backwards-incompatible changes. The reasons behind these changes are described in more detail [here]. One of these changes is the removal of all pipeline related methods from vtkDataObject. Among these methods are SetExtentTranslator() and GetExtentTranslator(). This functionality is still available through vtkStreamingDemandDrivenPipeline.

Example 1

Replace

vtkDataObject* dobj = algorithm->GetOutput();
dobj->GetExtentTranslator();

with

vtkStreamingDemandDrivenPipeline::GetExtentTranslator(
         algorithm->GetExecutive()->GetOutputPort());

Example 2

vtkDataObject* dobj = algorithm->GetOutput();
dobj->SetExtentTranslator(translator);

with

vtkStreamingDemandDrivenPipeline::SetExtentTranslator(
         algorithm->GetExecutive()->GetOutputPort(),
         translator);
