The new and improved vtkm::cont::ColorTable provides a more feature complete
color table implementation that is modeled after
vtkDiscretizableColorTransferFunction. This class therefore supports different
color spaces ( rgb, lab, hsv, diverging ) and supports execution across all
device adapters.
Sandia National Laboratories recently changed management from the
Sandia Corporation to the National Technology & Engineering Solutions
of Sandia, LLC (NTESS). The copyright statements need to be updated
accordingly.
Instead of labeling each method that needs to have visibility
we can label entire classes, this reduces the amount of noise and
potential for mistakes when writing classes.
The remove boost::shared_ptr and the rendering library branches where
developed simultaneously, and thus some of the rendering library
implementation was using boost::shared_ptr like the old code. Bring up
to date with the rest of VTK-m by using std::shared_ptr instead.
Generally we try not to expose the implementation details of how things
are stored in objects.
Also changed some arguments that should have been declared const to
actually be const.
The word surface is more often used for something like a polygonal mesh,
so this name is quite confusing. Canvas is consistent with a
conventional name in GUI widget APIs.
The rendering classes do not actually manage windows, and window was not
descriptive of what this class was doing. We decided that the class was
mostly analogous to what we call a "view" in ParaView.
