[vtkusers] Problems with the visualization of scalar data (vtk4.4.2)

[Scheurer, Christian]

Thanks, but it hasn't any effect...
Perhaps i should say that i delete the structure points and remiss after each displaying and create new ones.
So i preserve the correspondence of points and scalar data in my own c/c++ code structure.

But the serious effect still occurs...

Best Regard,
Christian

after you have modified the points, call this function before displaying 
them...

points->modified();
