// .NAME vtkImplicitModeller - compute distance from input geometry on structured point dataset
// .SECTION Description
// vtkImplicitModeller is a filter that computes the distance from the input
// geometry to the points of an output structured point set. This distance
// function can then be "contoured" to generate new, offset surfaces from
// the original geometry. An important feature of this object is
// "capping". If capping is turned on, after the implicit model is created,
// the values on the boundary of the structured points dataset are set to
// the cap value. This is used to force closure of the resulting contoured
// surface. Note, however, that large cap values can generate weird surface
// normals in those cells adjacent to the boundary of the dataset. Using
// smaller cap value will reduce this effect.
//<P>
// Another important ivar is MaximumDistance. This controls how far into the
// volume the distance function is computed from the input geometry.  Small
// values give significant increases in performance. However, there can
// strange sampling effects at the extreme range of the MaximumDistance.
//<P>
// In order to properly execute and sample the input data, a rectangular
// region in space must be defined (this is the ivar ModelBounds).  If not
// explicitly defined, the model bounds will be computed. Note that to avoid
// boundary effects, it is possible to adjust the model bounds (i.e., using
// the AdjustBounds and AdjustDistance ivars) to strictly contain the
// sampled data.
//<P>
// This filter has one other unusual capability: it is possible to append
// data in a sequence of operations to generate a single output. This is
// useful when you have multiple datasets and want to create a
// conglomeration of all the data.  However, the user must be careful to
// either specify the ModelBounds or specify the first item such that its
// bounds completely contain all other items.  This is because the 
// rectangular region of the output can not be changed after the 1st Append.
//<P>
// The ProcessMode ivar controls the method used within the Append function
// (where the actual work is done regardless if the Append function is
// explicitly called) to compute the implicit model.  If set to work in voxel
// mode, each voxel is visited once.  If set to cell mode, each cell is visited
// once.  Tests have shown once per voxel to be faster when there are a 
// lot of cells (at least a thousand?); relative performance improvement 
// increases with addition cells. Primitives should not be stripped for best
// performance of the voxel mode.  Also, if explicitly using the Append feature
// many times, the cell mode will probably be better because each voxel will be
// visited each Append.  Append the data before input if possible when using
// the voxel mode.
//<P>
// Further performance improvement is now possible using the PerVoxel process
// mode on multi-processor machines (the mode is now multithreaded).  Each
// thread processes a different "slab" of the output.  Also, if the input is 
// vtkPolyData, it is appropriately clipped for each thread; that is, each 
// thread only considers the input which could affect its slab of the output.
