[Paraview] Tensor glyph contribution

[Berk Geveci]

Hi Milan,

We welcome contributions :-) However, I have to admit that, in the
past, there were times when I sucked at integrating them due to lack
of time. Tensor glyph sounds like a great addition. I would suggest
adding it to paraview 3. ParaView 3.2 would be the best candidate
since we are getting close to branching for ParaView 3.0.
