How to get the the values of a vtkDoubleArray in a std::vector

I want to copy the elements of a vtkDoubleArray into a C++ std::vector (as in How to convert a vtkDoubleArray to an Eigen::matrix)

I am trying to get this to work: 

typedef std::vector<double> row_type;
typedef std::vector<row_type> matrix_type;

int n_components = vtk_arr->GetNumberOfComponents();
int n_rows = vtk_arr->GetNumberOfTuples();

row_type curTuple(n_components);
matrix_type cpp_matrix(n_rows, row_type(n_components));
for (int i=0; i<n_rows; i++) {
    vtk_arr->GetTuple(i, curTuple);
    cpp_matrix[i] = curTuple;
}

At the moment I have this error: 

error C2664: 'void vtkDataArrayTemplate<T>::GetTuple(vtkIdType,double
*)' : cannot convert parameter 2 from 'row_type' to 'double *'

Is there some vtk method (hopefully, more robust and efficient) which already achieves this?

As the errors says, you are passing a row_type (std::vector<double>) where it expects a double*. Perhaps you want to pass a pointer to the underlying data:

vtk_arr->GetTuple(i, curTuple.data());

See std::vector::data for more info.
