// .NAME vtkWindowToImageFilter - Use a vtkWindow as input to image pipeline
// .SECTION Description
// vtkWindowToImageFilter provides methods needed to read the data in
// a vtkWindow and use it as input to the imaging pipeline. This is
// useful for saving an image to a file for example. The window can
// be read as either RGB or RGBA pixels;  in addition, the depth buffer
// can also be read.   RGB and RGBA pixels are of type unsigned char,
// while Z-Buffer data is returned as floats.  Use this filter
// to convert RenderWindows or ImageWindows to an image format.  
//
// .SECTION Caveats
// A vtkWindow doesn't behave like other parts of the VTK pipeline: its
// modification time doesn't get updated when an image is rendered.  As a
// result, naive use of vtkWindowToImageFilter will produce an image of
// the first image that the window rendered, but which is never updated
// on subsequent window updates.  This behavior is unexpected and in 
// general undesirable. 
//
// To force an update of the output image, call vtkWindowToImageFilter's 
// Modified method after rendering to the window.
//
// In VTK versions 4 and later, this filter is part of the canonical
// way to output an image of a window to a file (replacing the
// obsolete SaveImageAsPPM method for vtkRenderWindows that existed in
// 3.2 and earlier).  Connect this filter to the output of the window,
// and filter's output to a writer such as vtkPNGWriter.
//
// Reading back alpha planes is dependent on the correct operation of
// the render window's GetRGBACharPixelData method, which in turn is
// dependent on the configuration of the window's alpha planes.  As of
// VTK 4.4+, machine-independent behavior is not automatically 
// assured because of these dependencies.
