The `DynamicCellSet` class is now marked as deprecated (as is the header
that contains it), and all non-deprecated code is moved to its
`UnknownCellSet` replacement.
Also added a deprecation warning for the VariantArrayHandle.h header
file and deleted a couple inappropriate uses of it.
The `MeshQuality` filter only worked with `CellSetExplicit<>`. However,
`MeshQuality` should also work with `CellSetSingleType`. Fix
`MeshQuality` to work with both.
The handling of cell sets was actually worse than that. After forcing
the type to `CellSetExplicit<>`, it then applied a policy that converted
the types back to all possible cell sets. Thus, the filter made lots of
code paths that were impossible to follow.
The version of `Filter::Execute` that takes a policy as an argument is now
deprecated. Filters are now able to specify their own fields and types,
which is often why you want to customize the policy for an execution. The
other reason is that you are compiling VTK-m into some other source that
uses a particular types of storage. However, there is now a mechanism in
the CMake configuration to allow you to provide a header that customizes
the "default" types used in filters. This is a much more convenient way to
compile filters for specific types.
One thing that filters were not able to do was to customize what cell sets
they allowed using. This allows filters to self-select what types of cell
sets they support (beyond simply just structured or unstructured). To
support this, the lists `SupportedCellSets`, `SupportedStructuredCellSets`,
and `SupportedUnstructuredCellSets` have been added to `Filter`. When you
apply a policy to a cell set, you now have to also provide the filter.
Previously MeshQuality defined its own SetOutputName method which broke
convention as was confusing. Deleted the output name defined in
MeshQuality and instead use the one defined in the superclass.
Previously, all the ApplyPolicy functions had the same name and used
template resolution to figure out which one to use. This was pretty
clear at first when there was just one for fields and one for cell sets.
But then it grew to several different types, particularly for fields. It
was hard to look at the code and figure out which form of ApplyPolicy
was being used, and compilers were starting to get confused.
Resolve the problem by giving all the methods unique names to make it
clear which one you expect to be called.
By removing the ability to have multiple CellSets in a DataSet
we can simplify the following things:
- Cell Fields now don't require a CellSet name when being constructed
- Filters don't need to manage what the active cellset is
The `From` and `To` nomenclature for topology mapping has been confusing for
both users and developers, especially at lower levels where the intention of
mapping attributes from one element to another is easily conflated with the
concept of mapping indices (which maps in the exact opposite direction).
These identifiers have been renamed to `VisitTopology` and `IncidentTopology`
to clarify the direction of the mapping. The order in which these template
parameters are specified for `WorkletMapTopology` have also been reversed,
since eventually there may be more than one `IncidentTopology`, and having
`IncidentTopology` at the end will allow us to replace it with a variadic
template parameter pack in the future.
Other implementation details supporting these worklets, include `Fetch` tags,
`Connectivity` classes, and methods on the various `CellSet` classes (such as
`PrepareForInput` have also reversed their template arguments. These will need
to be cautiously updated.
The convenience implementations of `WorkletMapTopology` have been renamed for
clarity as follows:
```
WorkletMapPointToCell --> WorkletVisitCellsWithPoints
WorkletMapCellToPoint --> WorkletVisitPointsWithCells
```
The `ControlSignature` tags have been renamed as follows:
```
FieldInTo --> FieldInVisit
FieldInFrom --> FieldInMap
FromCount --> IncidentElementCount
FromIndices --> IncidentElementIndices
```
