When looking at the classes in VTK Class List

It would be nice to add in ** Detailed Description** an indication as to where the class is in the VTK source.

For example, in the case of /vtkSubdivideTetra, in ** Detailed Description**:

Change the line:

subdivide one tetrahedron into twelve for every tetra

to:

subdivide one tetrahedron into twelve for every tetra, found in ./Filters/Modeling/

In 20 years of using VTK I usually do a

find . -name '*xx.h'

and wonder why this information is not on the web page.

I have added this as an issue Request to add the location of classes in the documentation.

Good idea. I’ve done the same kind of find countless times.

It would also be nice if the VTK module name was spelled out there (e.g. vtkFiltersModeling for your example), for easy copy-pasting into CMakeLists.txt. I know it’s almost always a concatenation of vtk, Subdirname and Subsubdirname, but it would be nice to have it presented.

@estan That’s a good idea, @ben.boeckel also mentioned this in the above issue. These should be simple enhancements to the documentation.
