[Paraview-developers] A small suggestion - flag arrays as Scalars/Vectors/Normals

[David E DeMarle]

I vote no.

The reason is that ParaView tries not to use the active/default array
concept and instead makes the user specify the particular array(s)
each filter should operate on by name via widgets on the object
inspector's property tab.
