[Paraview] Shapefiles to Paraview (or VTK) format

[Takuya OSHIMA]

Just to share my finding, ParaViewGeo has a Shapefile reader plugin.

Several warnings are issued when I tried to compile the plugin in
conjunction with the latest git master of PV. Besides I don't know if
it is supposed to be a complete implementation, but as far as I tested
importing geometry worked.

> Is there an easy way to get Shapefile data from ArcGIS into Paraview? It is an important file format and one which is widely used so it would be great if there was a method of importing this. As I see it, one has to somehow convert the format to a VTK structure (vector-based), not sure of the easiest solution.
