Using many scalars in one filter

[Thomas Demachy]

Hello

I totally agree with Malcolm. I also need to add some "field animation",
switching rapidly between attributes on the same geometry.

There is an example that could be extrapolated, called
"mergeDataObject.tcl", loading first the geometry, then indexed attributes
as field data, merges the two (with vtkMergeDataObjectFilter) and filters
out the scalar data and vector data.

By looping on the process, it should be possible to simulate several scalars
and/or vectors. But a more direct way, like loading several scalars at once
would be welcome.

Hi All

[...]

I once hacked a vtkGlyph3D to use field-data (scale, color etc. were set by
array index) but if I have to do this sort of thing again I'd like to do it
properly. Seems to me there are a lot of cases where the user may want to
map many scalars in a filter rather than a scalar, a vector, a tensor. Would
this capability be a welcome addition to the library ?

Any help appreciated!
