[vtkusers] How to use SetGeometryShaderCode

[Ken Martin]

Using your own shader code is a bit advanced as there are a few moving
parts. If you specify geometry shader code then you also have to make sure
the right uniforms/arrays are being set for that shader code. That would be
my guess as to the issue with your attempt to manually specify wide lines.
Maybe the code is fine but some uniforms are not properly set and so are
defaulting to 0.0 etc.

I agree an example of geometry replacements would be good. If you get
something working let me know and I'll add it to the wiki page on custom
shaders.
