/**
 * @class   vtkMergeDataObjectFilter
 * @brief   merge dataset and data object field to create dataset with attribute data
 *
 * vtkMergeDataObjectFilter is a filter that merges the field from a
 * vtkDataObject with a vtkDataSet. The resulting combined dataset can
 * then be processed by other filters (e.g.,
 * vtkFieldDataToAttributeDataFilter) to create attribute data like
 * scalars, vectors, etc.
 *
 * The filter operates as follows. The field data from the
 * vtkDataObject is merged with the input's vtkDataSet and then placed
 * in the output. You can choose to place the field data into the cell
 * data field, the point data field, or the datasets field (i.e., the
 * one inherited from vtkDataSet's superclass vtkDataObject). All this
 * data shuffling occurs via reference counting, therefore memory is
 * not copied.
 *
 * One of the uses of this filter is to allow you to read/generate the
 * structure of a dataset independent of the attributes. So, for
 * example, you could store the dataset geometry/topology in one file,
 * and field data in another. Then use this filter in combination with
 * vtkFieldDataToAttributeData to create a dataset ready for
 * processing in the visualization pipeline.
