// .NAME vtkDepthSortPolyData - sort poly data along camera view direction
// .SECTION Description
// vtkDepthSortPolyData rearranges the order of cells so that certain
// rendering operations (e.g., transparency or Painter's algorithms)
// generate correct results. To use this filter you must specify the
// direction vector along which to sort the cells. You can do this by 
// specifying a camera and/or prop to define a view direction; or 
// explicitly set a view direction.

// .SECTION Caveats
// The sort operation will not work well for long, thin primitives, or cells
// that intersect, overlap, or interpenetrate each other.
