Thank you for your answers, both methods work fine. I am also adding new variables to the output, so if I understood Dennis' answer correctly, I should be using DeepCopy() ? However, using PassData(), it seems to me the new variable is only added to the output.

This is the main reason that I advocate adding the capability for PointData and CellData to be partially DeepCopy (new variables added in Filter) and partially ShallowCopy (input variables just along for the ride). I suspect most filters are going to generate new variables, so DeepCopy seems to be appropriate. Please correct me if I misunderstand this.

Use ShallowCopy() instead. You don't need CopyStructure() by the way. Alternatively, you can use PassData(). Something like this: output.GetPointData().PassData(inputs[0].GetPointData()) output.GeCellData().PassData(inputs[0].GetCellData()) Best, -berk On Tue, Nov 10, 2015 at 1:49 PM, Dennis Conklin < <mailto:[email protected]%3cmailto:[email protected]> [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Jean-Michel, I normally just add the following two statements within my Filter: output.CopyStructure(inputs[0].VTKObject) output.DeepCopy(inputs[0].VTKObject) Dennis
