Getting Data into the GeometryModel
###################################

The geometry model can contain parts with triangles, lines and points. The model has an effect system which controls how 
the part are rendered on the screen. 

The geometry model has no element handling or result mapping, but supports textures so using a scalar mapper and color 
legend you can show simple results in the geometry model.
