With the major revision 2.0 of VTK-m, many items previously marked as
deprecated were removed. If updating to a new version of VTK-m, it is
recommended to first update to VTK-m 1.9, which will include the deprecated
features but provide warnings (with the right compiler) that will point to
the replacement code. Once the deprecations have been fixed, updating to
2.0 should be smoother.
Virtual methods are being deprecated, so remove their use from the
ColorTable classes. Instead of using a virtual method to look up a value
in the ColorTable, we essentially use a switch statement. This change
also simplified the code quite a bit.
The execution object used to use pointers to handle the virtual objects.
That is no longer necessary, so a simple `vtkm::exec::ColorTable` is
returned for execution objects. (Note that this `ColorTable` contains
pointers that are specific for the particular device.) This is a non-
backward compabible change. However, the only place (outside of the
`ColorTable` implementation itself) was a single worklet for converting
scalars to colors (`vtkm::worklet::colorconversion::TransferFunction`).
This is unlikely to affect anyone.
I also "fixed" some names in enum structs. There has been some
inconsistencies in VTK-m on whether items in an enum struct are
capitolized or camel case. We seem to moving toward camel case, so
deprecate some old names.
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.
