[vtkusers] How to read BMP files to form a volume?

[Amy Henderson]

Hi BeeJay,

You should read BMP files with the vtkBMPReader.  SetImageRange is not a 
method of vtkBMPReader.  The default file pattern is %s.%d (file prefix, 
then a dot, then a number), which is what you want, given your file prefix 
and the file names you listed.  Set the file prefix for the BMP reader the 
same way you set it for the volume 16 reader.
