/**
 * @class   vtkInstantiator
 * @brief   create an instance of any VTK class from its name.
 *
 * vtkInstantiator provides an interface to create an instance of any
 * VTK class from its name.  Instances are created through registered
 * pointers to functions returning the objects.  New classes can also be
 * registered with the creator.  VTK libraries automatically register
 * their classes with the creator when they are loaded.  Instances are
 * created using the static New() method, so the normal vtkObjectFactory
 * mechanism is still invoked.
 *
 * When using this class from language wrappers (Tcl, Python, or Java),
 * the vtkInstantiator should be able to create any class from any kit
 * that has been loaded.
 *
 * In C++ code, one should include the header for each kit from which
 * one wishes to create instances through vtkInstantiator.  This is
 * necessary to ensure proper linking when building static libraries.
 * Be careful, though, because including each kit's header means every
 * class from that kit will be linked into your executable whether or
 * not the class is used.  The headers are:
 *
 *   vtkCommon          - vtkCommonInstantiator.h
 *   vtkFiltering       - vtkFilteringInstantiator.h
 *   vtkIO              - vtkIOInstantiator.h
 *   vtkImaging         - vtkImagingInstantiator.h
 *   vtkGraphics        - vtkGraphicsInstantiator.h
 *   vtkRendering       - vtkRenderingInstantiator.h
 *   vtkVolumeRendering - vtkVolumeRenderingInstantiator.h
 *   vtkHybrid          - vtkHybridInstantiator.h
 *   vtkParallel        - vtkParallelInstantiator.h
 *
 * The VTK_MAKE_INSTANTIATOR() command in CMake is used to automatically
 * generate the creator registration for each VTK library.  It can also
 * be used to create registration code for VTK-style user libraries
 * that are linked to vtkCommon.  After using this command to register
 * classes from a new library, the generated header must be included.
