[vtkusers] Glyphs: color by one scalar, scale by another

[Craig N. Scott]

Thanks Frank. Unfortunately, I have to be able to do both scale and
color with just scalar data or just vector data. However, I have been
able to do what I want using vtkProgrammableGlyphFilter. I had to copy
the data set for one of the scalars and store it, but it looks like the
only solution that I can see.

Computers are easy to reboot. Attitudes are much harder.
