/**
* @class vtkCastToConcrete
* @brief works around type-checking limitations
*
* vtkCastToConcrete is a filter that works around type-checking limitations
* in the filter classes. Some filters generate abstract types on output,
* and cannot be connected to the input of filters requiring a concrete
* input type. For example, vtkElevationFilter generates vtkDataSet for output,
* and cannot be connected to vtkDecimate, because vtkDecimate requires
* vtkPolyData as input. This is true even though (in this example) the input
* to vtkElevationFilter is of type vtkPolyData, and you know the output of
* vtkElevationFilter is the same type as its input.
*
* vtkCastToConcrete performs run-time checking to insure that output type
* is of the right type. An error message will result if you try to cast
* an input type improperly. Otherwise, the filter performs the appropriate
* cast and returns the data.
*
* @warning
* You must specify the input before you can get the output. Otherwise an
* error results.
