// .NAME vtkAlgorithm - Superclass for all sources, filters, and sinks in VTK.
// .SECTION Description
// 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.
