[Paraview] Support for text visualization in Paraview

[Nehme Bilal]

Hi Marco,

- select all your data using selection controls toolbar.
- open selection inspector and scroll down to display style.
- you will find "Cell Label" and "Point label" tabs. click on the one
you want to display and then check "Visible".

The problem here is that the labels will show up on all you points or
cells. if you want to display your labels on some specific locations
only,
you will have to add a vtkStringArray to your output, SetValue("") on
the points or cells where you don't want to display anything,
and SetValue("a label") on the points where you want to display your labels.

Good luck,

Nehme
