[Paraview] Ensight Particle data visualization

[Zhanping Liu]

Hi Sandeep:

  If possible and convenient, would you please report the problem via the
Mantis (http://paraview.org/Bug/my_view_page.php) by describing the
procedure used to re-produce the problem and the data files involved?

  I will look into it.

  Thanks.

  -Zhanping
