[vtkusers] Using String

[John Biddiscombe]

I quite often give each datasets a name in a field using chararry...you can
modify this...

(Note that this is years old and may not be as efficient as it could be...)

//--------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
void SetDatasetFieldString(vtkDataSet *dataset, char *StringName, char
*StringData) {
    vtkFieldData *fd = dataset->GetFieldData();
    if (!fd) {
        fd = vtkFieldData::New();
        dataset->SetFieldData(fd);
        fd->Delete();
    }
    //
    vtkCharArray *array = vtkCharArray::New();
    array->Allocate(strlen(StringData)+1);
    strcpy(array->GetPointer(0),StringData);
    //
    array->SetName(StringName);
    fd->AddArray(array);
    //
    array->Delete();
}
//--------------------------------------------------------------------------
