[vtkusers] TemporalDataSet examples

[Gerrick Bivins]

I ran into a snag here. I was able to get my sample code working with the
sample Exodus dataset, ³can.ex2². I think I understand how to update the
pipeline to display the requested timestep appropriately (Thanks Jon!).
 So I¹ve started trying to replace the exodus data with my own data and
create a temporal dataset but the temporal pipelines aren¹t executing. I
think it¹s because I need to set the time information (DATA_TIME_STEPS,
DATA_TIME_RANGE)I¹m programming in Java and I don¹t quite understand how to
set information. For example:
VtkTemporalDataSet td = new vtkTemporalDataSet();
 td.GetInformation().Set( td.DATA_TIME_STEPS(),numSteps,1.0,0.0);//<==I know
this isn¹t correct but how do I make this call to ³vtkInformation:::Set()²
 in Java?
