[vtkusers] vtkPolyData->GetPointData->GetScalars

[Amy Squillacote]

Hi Kate,

Does your scalar array have a name (e.g., "temperature" or "pressure")?  If 
so, try the following in Tcl.

vtkFloatArray thisdata
         set thisdata [thisPointData GetArray "arrayName"]  # Put the name 
of your array in place of arrayName
