[vtkusers] vtkPoints to vtkPolyData

[Syrkina Ekaterina]

Hello,

I recently needed to display point cloud in paraview and "converted"
vtkPoints to vtkPolyData this way:

vtkPolyData *data = vtkPolyData::New();
vtkPoints *points = vtkPoints::New();
// some code to read points from text file into vtkPoints object //
data->SetPoints(points);

It didn't solve my problem, since paraview displays only points
associated by geometry, so one has to define faces or smth else. But
maybe it solves your problem.

Best,
Katya
