// .NAME vtkHierarchicalDataSetAlgorithm - Superclass for algorithms that produce only vtkHierarchicalDataSet as output
// .SECTION Description
// Algorithms that take any type of data object (including composite dataset)
// and produce a vtkHierarchicalDataSet in the output can subclass from this

  // vtkAlgorithm::SetInputConnection().  These methods transform the
  // input index to the input port index, not an index of a connection
  // within a single port.
