[Paraview] Fwd: Cell v. point data

[Berk Geveci]

vtkPVSource->GetDataInformation() 
will return a data structure that has information about the output of
the reader. Then you need to get PointDataInformation and/or
CellDataInformation and check if they have arrays. Check
Servers/Common/vtkPVDataInformation.h for more info.
