I’m seeing a minor issue with VS2019 on master (new laptop, new compiler!), just wondering if others have seen it.
A few files need and extra
`#include `
apparently because of the use of `vtkGetStringMacro` for ivars
including vtkPVOptions, vtkPolarAxesActor, vtkProperty, vtkOpenGLVertexBufferObjectGroup
The strange thing is three of these are in VTK, and compiling VTK by itself succeeds with VS2019.
Wondering if I should submit a PR for vtk and paraview?
Thanks
Aron
