I know this must be easy but I can not see it.  I have a table with
types of material and a second table of the materials.  So;

MaterialType
has_many :materials

and

Material
belongs_to :material_type

I want to display the list of materials as types and include the types
that have no materials, to show;

Type 1
        2 materials defined
                Material 1
                Material 2
        <link to add new Type 1 material>
Type 2
        0 materials defined
        <link to add new Type 2 material>
Type 3
        4 materials defined
                Material 3
                Material 4
                Material 5
                Material 6
        <link to add new Type 3 material>
Etc

The problem is I can show the materials types that have materials
defined but I can not work out how to show all the types especially
the ones without materials, so I can include the link to add one!

Thanks in advance
