[Paraview] Shapefiles to Paraview (or VTK) format

[Aashish Chaudhary]

Hi Lester,

I have a Shapefile reader (actually a vector format reader) for VTK.
You would have to write a program to use it (I can send a sample app
too). It will require VTK and GDAL.

I can send you the code in my next email if you are interested.

Regards,
