[vtkusers] Tensor data

[Bill Lorensen]

Olivier,
         My guess is that the tensor reading code in vtk is not tested. I looked at:
http://visualizationtoolkit.org/vtk/quality/Coverage/graphics/vtkDataReader.txt
which shows the coverage of the vtk regression tests. The hash marks (#'s) means
the code is not executed by the tests.

Our past experience shows, that code that is not tested, probably does not execute correctly.

If you can send me an example script (and data), I'll take a look at it.
