[vtkusers] XYPlot for multiblock datasets

[Gerrick Bivins]

Hi Dave,
Are you referring to the array returned by:
vtkProbeFilter::GetValidPoints()

If so, it sounds like I'd need to add another step in my pipeline to create
this composited line from the valid probed points. Am I on the right track
here?
