// .NAME vtkGradientFilter - A general filter for gradient estimation.
//
// .SECTION Description
// Estimates the gradient of a scalar field in a data set.  This class
// is basically designed for unstructured data sets (i.e.
// vtkUnstructuredGrid).  More efficient filters exist for vtkImageData.

  // These are basically a convenience method that calls SetInputArrayToProcess
  // to set the array used as the input scalars.  The fieldAssociation comes
