/**
 * @class   vtkAlgorithm
 * @brief   Superclass for all sources, filters, and sinks in VTK.
 *
 * vtkAlgorithm is the superclass for all sources, filters, and sinks
 * in VTK.  It defines a generalized interface for executing data
 * processing algorithms.  Pipeline connections are associated with
 * input and output ports that are independent of the type of data
 * passing through the connections.
 *
 * Instances may be used independently or within pipelines with a
 * variety of architectures and update mechanisms.  Pipelines are
 * controlled by instances of vtkExecutive.  Every vtkAlgorithm
 * instance has an associated vtkExecutive when it is used in a
 * pipeline.  The executive is responsible for data flow.
