Three things:

1) If these are legacy readers, what replaced them?

2) I found a good example in Insight/Testing/Code/Review, but I found this
directory empty: Insight/Examples/Review - maybe the test should also be
copied to the example directory? Or at least a text file with a pointer to
the Testing directory?

3) I tried the example (itkVTKPolyDataReaderTest.cxx) with a simple vtp file
(attached, 3 points) and I get this error:

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::out_of_range'
  what():  basic_string::basic_string
Aborted

It was made with vtkXMLPolyDataWriter, is that the problem?

I've been doing all of my work using VTK and then making a vtp file and
viewing the results in Paraview. However, it seems like ITK has much more
functionality for what I'm doing (point cloud/ mesh manipulation) so I'm
trying to convert my code. That is why I am wondering what the "recommended"
file type is for this kind of data.

Thanks for the help so far!
