Description
When writing generic code it would very convient, if a vtk function could communicate it's prefered way fo visualization. Right now the code has to be changed when switching from p0 to p1 shape functions. I suggest that the vtkfunction can tell whether it contains cell or vertex data (or perhaps higher order data, once vtk supports this) and the user can wither pass this function an "addData" method which uses the auto guess feature, or to one of the existing methods, to overwrite the self-assessment of vtkfunction.
