The ParaView extent translator is causing problems with imaging pipeline
This issue was created automatically from an original Mantis Issue. Further discussion may take place here.
Currently, if an Image source has a certain Extent, Paraview will pass that as UPDATE_EXTENT to all subsequent filters in the pipeline, even if a filter changes the whole extent. This prohibits for example implementing vtkImageConstantPad as a useful Paraview filter. For further info see http://markmail.org/message/sfnw7sgojytzw6y2 .
I am sure this has something to do with the fact that ParaView uses its own extent translator that uses the reader's extents.
