[Paraview] Converting an image from float to unsigned char

[Jérôme]

Hi David,
Data type casting is very application dependent. Adding a
"casting-capability" to a data writer could be an idea, but it means
that you add some functionalities to an object that was not intended
to handle them. More risky: it means that you will write data that are
not those you put in the writer!

Integrate vtkImageCast in ParaView is an easy task (it is done in
Peavip), either through a compiled plugin or an XML.

My 2c
Jerome
