[Paraview] Finding element number in the diagram

[Andy Bauer]

I'm not sure this is exactly what you want but you can select a point/cell
and then go to selection inspector and go to the point label/cell label tab
and toggle the visible button to show selected point or cell ids.  The
selection inspector also allows you to "select cells that include the
selected points".

Hope this helps.
