[vtkusers] Animating a series of vtk files

[Gerrick Bivins]

Hi Rich,
Hard to tell. You can try turning on debug for the polydata reader and see
what that prints:

wl.getPartwl().DebugOn();
>wl.getPartwl().SetFileName(wlFile);  // wl is the vtk
> pipeline , Partwl is the polydatareader
>                 wl.getPartwl().Update();
