Simplify creating results for Filters
As part of the process of making VTK-m filters easier to write for newcomers
whe have a couple of changes to make constructing the output vtkm::cont::DataSet
easier.
First we have moved the CreateResult functions out of the internals namespace
and directly into vtkm::filter. This makes it clearer to developers that this
was the 'proper' way to construct the output DataSet.
Second we have streamlined the collection of vtkm::filter::CreateResult methods to
require the user to provide less information and provide clearer names explaing what
they do.
To construct output identical to the input but with a new field you now just pass
the vtkm::filter::FieldMetadata as a paramter instead of explictly stating
the field association, and the possible cell set name:
return CreateResult(input, newField, name, fieldMetadata);
To construct output identical to the input but with a cell field added you
can now pass the vtkm::cont::CellSet as a paramter instead of explictly stating
the field association, and the cell set name:
return CreateResultFieldCell(input, newCellField, name, cellset);
