[Paraview] multiple scalars

[Dave Semeraro]

Yep I have two scalar fields with two SCALARS keywords in the file. I can, 
with vtk, do
a SetScalars( scalarname) method call on the reader and read whatever 
scalar field that
name corresponds to. I guess the correct way to make paraview understand 
that there are
multiple scalar fields is to encode them in the input file as fielddata. Is 
that correct?
