[Paraview] SuperquadricTensorGlyph usage question

[Sven Buijssen]

Ricardo,

No, it doesn't work like that. Your symmetric tensor isn't silently translated
into the 3x3 representation needed by class vtkTensorGlyph once you've changed
number_of_components to 6. I guess you'll have to come up with an explicit
conversion by means of e.g. the programmable filter in order to be able to use
the SuperquadricTensorGlyph plugin with your data.
