Even a 'C' and 'P' instead of a box and a circle would help? Also, a column in the "Information" tab would be another nice place to see this information.</div>

This is very confusing. I tried to vtkIntArray::SafeDownCast() the array since Paraview said it was an int, but the cast kept failing. I had to vtkIdTypeArray::SafeDownCast(). I don't know exactly what the deal is the vtkIdType, but should Paraview show that instead of int?</div>
