[vtkusers] Multiple SCALARS or VECTORS in POINT_DATA

[Mengda Wu]

Thanks for your answer.

Then, for the data which has multiple scalars or vectors.
How to tell a filter(such as threshold, contour, glyph, etc.) to operate on
a particular scalar or vector?

I am very confused with the data pipeline of VTK?
Will A filter which generates new data pass the old data to the output? Or
just discard?

Thanks,
Guanglei
