// .NAME vtkGenericContourFilter - generate isocontours from input dataset
// .SECTION Description
// vtkGenericContourFilter is a filter that takes as input any (generic)
// dataset and generates on output isosurfaces and/or isolines. The exact
// form of the output depends upon the dimensionality of the input data.
// Data consisting of 3D cells will generate isosurfaces, data consisting of
// 2D cells will generate isolines, and data with 1D or 0D cells will
// generate isopoints. Combinations of output type are possible if the input
// dimension is mixed.
//
// To use this filter you must specify one or more contour values.
// You can either use the method SetValue() to specify each contour
// value, or use GenerateValues() to generate a series of evenly
// spaced contours. You can use ComputeNormalsOn to compute the normals
// without the need of a vtkPolyDataNormals
//
// This filter has been implemented to operate on generic datasets, rather
// than the typical vtkDataSet (and subclasses). vtkGenericDataSet is a more
// complex cousin of vtkDataSet, typically consisting of nonlinear,
// higher-order cells. To process this type of data, generic cells are
// automatically tessellated into linear cells prior to isocontouring.
