void PrintSelf(ostream& os, vtkIndent indent);
unsigned long int GetMTime();
void SetTransform(vtkTransform*);
void SetTransform(vtkTransform& );
vtkTransform *GetTransform();
DESCRIPTION
vtkTransformPolyDataFilter is a filter to transform point coordinates and associated point normals and vectors. Other point data is passed through the filter. This filter is specialized for polygonal data. See vtkTransformFilter for more
general data.
An alternative method of transformation is to use vtkActor's methods to scale, rotate, and translate objects. The difference between the two methods is that vtkActor's transformation simply effects where objects are rendered (via the graphics pipeline), whereas vtkTransformPolyDataFilter actually modifies point coordinates in the visualization pipeline. This is necessary for some objects (e.g., vtkProbeFilter) that require point coordinates as input.
