[vtkusers] upgrade vtk from vtk 5.0 to 5.8

[Gishara Indeewarie]

Hi David,
Thanks for your answer. Below is the function that includes line 313 of
vtkPBFEAView.cpp.

vtkSmartPointer<vtkScalarBarWidget> AddPBFEABar(vtkLookupTable& lut,const
char* label, int x, double y)
{
    vtkSmartPointer<vtkScalarBarActor> barActor;
    barActor.TakeReference(vtkScalarBarActor::New());
    barActor->SetLookupTable(&lut);
    barActor->SetTitle(label);

barActor->GetPositionCoordinate()->SetCoordinateSystemToNormalizedViewport();
    if(false)
    {
        barActor->SetOrientationToVertical();
        barActor->GetPositionCoordinate()->SetValue(0.02,0.3);
        barActor->GetPosition2Coordinate()->SetValue(0.08,0.7);
    }
    else
    {
        barActor->SetOrientationToHorizontal();
        barActor->GetPositionCoordinate()->SetValue(0.2,0.1);
        barActor->GetPosition2Coordinate()->SetValue(0.6,0.08);
    }
    barActor->GetTitleTextProperty()->SetColor(0,0,0);
    barActor->GetTitleTextProperty()->ShadowOff();
    barActor->GetTitleTextProperty()->ItalicOff();
    barActor->GetTitleTextProperty()->SetFontFamilyToArial();
barActor->GetLabelTextProperty()->SetFontFamilyToArial();
barActor->GetLabelTextProperty()->ItalicOff();
barActor->GetLabelTextProperty()->ShadowOff();
barActor->GetLabelTextProperty()->BoldOff();
    //barActor->GetLabelTextProperty()->SetFontSize(8);
    barActor->GetLabelTextProperty()->SetColor(0,0,0);
    barActor->SetLabelFormat("%-#10.3f");
    return barActor;
}

return barActor is the line 313.
