// .NAME vtkArrayDataAlgorithm - Superclass for algorithms that produce
// vtkArrayDatas as output
//
// .SECTION Description
// vtkArrayDataAlgorithm is a convenience class to make writing algorithms
// easier. It is also designed to help transition old algorithms to the new
// pipeline architecture. There are some assumptions and defaults made by this
// class you should be aware of. This class defaults such that your filter
// will have one input port and one output port. If that is not the case
// simply change it with SetNumberOfInputPorts etc. See this class
// constructor for the default. This class also provides a FillInputPortInfo
// method that by default says that all inputs will be vtkArrayData. If that
// isn't the case then please override this method in your subclass.

// .SECTION Thanks
// Developed by Timothy M. Shead (tshead@sandia.gov) at Sandia National Laboratories.
