[vtkusers] Problem upgrading from VTK3.1 (UG+Field)

[Amy Henderson]

Hi Gil,

Maybe you've seen this already, this section of the VTK FAQ (now in the VTK 
wiki) should be of help to you: 
http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/VTK_FAQ#Changes_in_VTK_between_3.2_and_4.0. In VTK 
4.2, vtkPointData is a subclass of vtkFieldData. The SetFieldData method 
has been removed. Try using ShallowCopy or DeepCopy instead.
