[Paraview] Shapefiles to Paraview (or VTK) format

[Aashish Chaudhary]

Hi Takuya,

Instead of sending it over the email I decided to put it over
gitorious so that it could be maintained.

Checkout source code from here:

https://gitorious.org/vtkgis_vector_reader

The repository has a test program as well that could be used to view a
shape file or write shape file gdal layers as vtk files. This test
program won't work when you don't have a projection information in the
shape file but you can still look at the test code to get an idea on
how to convert the data into vtk files.

If you have any questions or if you find any bugs please let me know.

Thanks
