Array Refactoring

Overview

Now that we have N-Way Array Data Structures, it would be ideal if we could use them as attributes in data objects. This will likely involve some tricky work to somehow merge the vtkAbstractArray- and vtkArray- hierarchies.

Recent Work

• Added vtkArray::GetName() and vtkArray::SetName()

• vtkDenseArray memory management.
  • vtkDenseArray::MemoryBlock
  • vtkDenseArray::StaticMemoryBlock
  • vtkDenseArray::HeapMemoryBlock

• vtkSparseICSArray
  • Changes the way coordinates are stored, one contiguous array of coordinates per dimension, instead of a single contiguous array for all dimensions.
  • Implements value sorting.
  • Could probably replace the current vtkSparseArray implementation.

Proposed Work

• Make
