new vtkActorToPF

[Paul John Rajlich]

Hi vtkusers,

for those of you that are interested in computing geometry with VTK
but rendering with SGI's Performer, a new version of vtkActorToPF is
available. vtkActorToPF allows you to develop interactive visualization
applications for multi-headed displays like the CAVE very easily.

New for Version 6.0: 

  1. Merges regular and parallel versions of vtkActorToPFTranslator into
     one release. 
  2. Many more examples. There are now 6 pfCAVE examples, 6 regular
     Performer examples, and the two versions of the parallel example. 
  3. Better error checking. For instance, if there are no normals,
     lighting will automatically be turned off for the geode. 
  4. Code for compiling a Performer vtk loader DSO. This DSO can be used
     in conjunction with "perfly." It allows you to load static geometry
     from any vtkPolyData file.
