[vtkusers] representation of non-axis-aligned grids

[Malcolm Drummond]

Hi Paul

How about storing structured points and a transform so that you can recover
orientation. You could use the header (see SetHeader and GetHeader in
vtkDataWriter and vtkDataReader respectively).

Hope this helps
Malcolm
