// .NAME vtkPolyDataSourceWidget - abstract PolyDataSource-based 3D widget
// .SECTION Description
// This abstract class serves as parent to 3D widgets that have simple
// vtkPolyDataSource instances defining their geometry.
//
// In addition to what is offered by the vtk3DWidget parent, this class
// makes it possible to manipulate the underlying polydatasource and to
// PlaceWidget() according to that, instead of having to make use of
// SetInput() or SetProp3D().
//
// Implementors of child classes HAVE to implement their PlaceWidget(bounds)
// to check for the existence of Input and Prop3D FIRST.  If these don't
// exist, place according to the underlying PolyDataSource.  Child classes
// also have to imprement UpdatePlacement(), which updates the widget according
// to the geometry of the underlying PolyDataSource.

// .SECTION See Also
// vtk3DWidget vtkLineWidget vtkPlaneWidget vtkSphereWidget

  // Description:
  // We have to redeclare this abstract, PlaceWidget() requires it.  You HAVE
  // to override this in your concrete child classes.  If there's no Prop3D

  // PolyDataSource to do its work.

  // Description:
  // Returns underlying vtkPolyDataSource that determines geometry.  This
  // can be modified after which PlaceWidget() or UpdatePlacement() can be
  // called.  UpdatePlacement() will always update the planewidget according
  // to the geometry of the underlying PolyDataSource.  PlaceWidget() will
  // only make use of this geometry if there is no Input and no Prop3D set.
