[vtkusers] Setting Single Value Attributes into Data sets

[Michael Jackson]

I know there is a way but my email searching skills are sub-par this  
morning.

  I would like to store some "meta-data" into a data set. Say, for  
example I have a vtkPolyData object that represents a surface mesh and  
that surface mesh has an a few items like "Grain ID" and "Euler  
Angle". The Grain ID is a single 32 bit integer. The Euler angle is a  
3 float vector. I could easily create a Scalar Attribute for each Cell  
but that seems VERY redundant and a memory waste.

   I thought there were some methods to store these "simple" values  
into a vtk Data set? I have been perusing the vtk 5.4 documentation  
going up and down the inheritance tree for vtkPolyData and nothing is  
really sticking out at me.

Help is much appreciated.
