[vtkusers] SOLVED a slightly different Glyph Filter

[Patrick boenzli]

hi all,

I now solved the problem by creating a new filter: My filter bases on 
the vtkGlyph3D filter and visualizes all vector components as glyphs. 
I'm using this to visualize boundary conditions with a special glyph.
If anyone needs such a filter, you can write me an email.

cheers,
Patrick


PS: sorry for my wrong sent date in my previous mail (i think it's 
tomorrow) :D
