[Paraview] PCL Plugin

[Eric Younkin - NOAA Federal]

Thanks Casey.  For someone with only moderate programming experience, how
difficult would you say creating those additional wrappers and building a
VLP-16 paraview plugin would be?  Do you happen to have any resources or
guides for doing so?

I will continue to look at building from source and check out Project
Tango.  Thanks for the link.

Thanks,
Eric
