// .NAME vtkTableToGraph - convert a vtkTable into a vtkGraph
//
// .SECTION Description
// vtkTableToGraph converts a table to a graph using an auxilliary 
// link graph.  The link graph specifies how each row in the table
// should be converted to an edge, or a collection of edges.  It also
// specifies which columns of the table should be considered part of
// the same domain, and which columns should be hidden.
//
// A second, optional, table may be provided as the vertex table.
// This vertex table must have one or more domain columns whose values
// match values in the edge table.  The linked column name is specified in
// the domain array in the link graph.  The output graph will only contain
// vertices corresponding to a row in the vertex table.  For heterogenous
// graphs, you may want to use vtkMergeTables to create a single vertex table.
//
// The link graph contains the following arrays:
//
// (1) The "column" array has the names of the columns to connect in each table row.
// This array is required.
//
// (2) The optional "domain" array provides user-defined domain names for each column.
// Matching domains in multiple columns will merge vertices with the same
// value from those columns.  By default, all columns are in the same domain.
// If a vertex table is supplied, the domain indicates the column in the vertex
// table that the edge table column associates with.  If the user provides a
// vertex table but no domain names, the output will be an empty graph.
// Hidden columns do not need valid domain names.
//
// (3) The optional "hidden" array is a bit array specifying whether the column should be
// hidden.  The resulting graph will contain edges representing connections
// "through" the hidden column, but the vertices for that column will not 
// be present.  By default, no columns are hidden.  Hiding a column
// in a particular domain hides all columns in that domain.
//
// The output graph will contain three additional arrays in the vertex data.
// The "domain" column is a string array containing the domain of each vertex.
// The "value" column is a string version of the distinct value that, along
// with the domain, defines that vertex. The "variantvalue" column also contains
// the distinguishing value, but as a vtkVariant holding the raw value instead
// of being converted to a string.
