[vtkusers] material info in data file?

[Fabrice Vincent]

Hi

I use a scalar field in the file to identify the material (eg value 1 for femur points, value 2 for
skin points ), and
use a vtkThreshold  to extract the surface I want . Of course, if the scalar field is already used
for
something else, there could be a problem.
