[vtkusers] Help on vtkVRMLImorter

[Tim Hutton]

Hi coki,

The VRML format has different ways of supporting textures:

1. An external image file (eg. brick.bmp) referenced in the file can be 
imported and applied to the surface.
2. The image pixel values can be saved in the VRML file itself.

The first of these is easier for VTK, since you can use a separate 
vtkBMPReader plus vtkTexture. The second is currently not supported by 
vtkVRMLImporter, AFAIK.
