<div><br></div><div style>Why isn&#39;t the operator=() implemented? I guess it wouldn&#39;t make sense to set a filter to the state of another--at least for the applications I&#39;ve worked on. </div><div style><br></div>
<div style>I seems to me that if  operator=() should be implemented, then why even declare this function in the header file of the filter?</div><div style><br></div><div style>Thanks in advance answering!</div><div style>
