[Paraview] SOLVED: Problem with: ArrayMenu property="SelectInputVectors"

[Patrick boenzli]

Hi all,

I just wanted you to inform, that I found the problem: I had a syntax
error in the xml file that was not reported by ParaView.
Instead of:
class="vtkPointSet"/>
I had written:
class="vtkPointSet">

took me some hours to find out :D

thx again, and may this help some other people.

Patrick
