It's confusing to name an ImageFunction that reads PNG images "tif".

Refs #3544.
file_range is a vector input, so we should format it as such.

Add option to ignore slave/master node coupling

Do not allocate coupling memory if not needed

Ref #3958
Fixing the issues with {dual,quad}_flip in VTK-6.

VTK-6 algorithms only seem to work with SetInputConnection() rather

VTK-5, need to check.
