The PerlinNoise source has a mode where if a seed is not set, it will
choose a new seed every time it is executed. It did this by using the
value 0 as an indicator to do this (and initializing the Seed to 0).
However, there was a problem with one of the benchmarks that was
specifically setting the seed to 0 and getting unexpected results.
Fix the problem by adding a separate, hidden member of the PerlinNoise
class that keeps track of whether to generate new seeds or not.

During the VTK-m 1.8 and 1.9 development, the filter infrastructure was
overhauled. Part of this created a completely new set of base classes. To
avoid confusion with the original filter base classes and ease transition,
the new filter base classes were named `NewFilter*`. Eventually after all
filters were transitioned, the old filter base classes were deprecated.
With the release of VTK-m 2.0, the old filter base classes are removed. The
"new" filter base classes are no longer new. Thus, they have been renamed
simply `Filter` (and `FilterField`).
Originally, most of the sources used constructor parameters to set the
various options of the source. Although convenient, it was difficult to
keep track of what each parameter meant. To make the code more clear,
source parameters are now set with accessor functions (e.g.
`SetPointDimensions`). Although this makes code more verbose, it helps
prevent mistakes and makes the changes more resilient to future changes.
`ExecutionWholeArray` is an archaic class in VTK-m that is a thin wrapper
around an array portal. In the early days of VTK-m, this class was used to
transfer whole arrays to the execution environment. However, now the
supported method is to use `WholeArray*` tags in the `ControlSignature` of
a worklet.
Nevertheless, the `WholeArray*` tags caused the array portal transferred to
the worklet to be wrapped inside of an `ExecutionWholeArray` class. This
is unnecessary and can cause confusion about the types of data being used.
Most code is unaffected by this change. Some code that had to work around
the issue of the portal wrapped in another class used the `GetPortal`
method which is no longer needed (for obvious reasons). One extra feature
that `ExecutionWholeArray` had was that it provided an subscript operator
(somewhat incorrectly). Thus, any use of '[..]' to index the array portal
have to be changed to use the `Get` method.
This mechanism sets up CMake variables that allow a user to select which
modules/libraries to create. Dependencies will be tracked down to ensure
that all of a module's dependencies are also enabled.
The modules are also arranged into groups.
Groups allow you to set the enable flag for a group of modules at once.
Thus, if you have several modules that are likely to be used together,
you can create a group for them.
This can be handy in converting user-friendly CMake options (such as
`VTKm_ENABLE_RENDERING`) to the modules that enable that by pointing to
the appropriate group.
The enumerations in `vtkm::cont::Field::Association` were renamed in the
previous commit. The old names still exist, but are deprecated. Change
the rest of the code to use the new names.
The `Permutations` array was created using floating point numbers. But
integers were put into it and then used when taken out of it. Simplified
everything by simply making the value type of `Permutations` as
`vtkm::Id`.
This matches the output field name in VTK and ParaView for the
equivalent source. This change allows this source to be used as a drop-
in replacement for the VTK source (which could be very useful).
The `Tangle` source would create a point field generically named
`nodevar`. This name was not indicitive of the data or its source. Thus,
the output point field has been renamed `tangle`.
The `Tangle` source was also creating a cell field (named `cellvar`).
This field was really just a mirror of the cell indices (counting from 0
on up). This field has been removed from the input. If you want such a
field, you can now use the `GenerateIds` filter to add it to any data
set.
There was an error that caused deprecation warnings in VTK-m to be
suppressed, which meant that many uses of deprecated features went
unnoticed. This fixes those deprecation warnings.
The majority of the warnings were caused by the use of the deprecated
`Cast`, `CopyTo`, and `ResetTypes` methods of `UnknownArrayHandle` (or
`VariantArrayHandle`). Both `Cast` and `CopyTo` have been subsumed by
`AsArrayHandle` (to make the functionality more clear). `ResetTypes` now
requires a second template argument to define the storage types to try.
Also fixed some issues with `SerializableField` being deprecated.
This class is no longer necessary because `Field` can now be directly
serialized.
By leveraging WorkletVisitPointsWithCells we can get already
pre-computed i,j,k locations helping with performance
In addition we have made the algorithm easier to read by
leveraging VTK-m Vec types.
`vtkm::source::Source` now uses virtual inheritance for
the `Execute` method. This will allow us to enforce that
all vtkm::source have a consistent calling convention.
To make the code inside filters and sources more similar the
base `vtkm::source::Source` class has a `vtkm::cont::Invoker`
as a member variable. This will allow sources to use the
`this->Invoke()` pattern that filters use to launch worklets.
