Add support for VTK ASCII files #124

Closed jayjaybillings closed 5 years ago

It would be awesome if the geometry/mesh editor could support input from legacy vtk ascii files.

The second document also discusses their newer XML based format too.

Commit 520e89d9deb74da1342f03bbd76db0d2e8622e3c adds the capability to parse POLYDATA .vtk files using polygons and triangle strips. Vertices and Lines will wait until the geometry editor has molecule support added, as that seems to be one of their big uses. Other formats seem to be geared more towards the mesh editor, and will be handled when we begin work on getting it to import files in general.

The Geometry Editor will no longer be supported in 0.3
