[Paraview] What data type to set to show 2D Plot (Line Chart)

[Eric E. Monson]

I don't know about readers, but some of the filters have a section of their XML that specifies a Chart view preference:

     <Hints>
        <!-- View can be used to specify the preferred view for the proxy -->
        <View type="XYChartView" />
        <Plotable />
     </Hints>

> I have a custom reader for ParaView that has multiple output ports. On 2 of those ports are "vtkTable" data types. This all works just fine and reads ok. The issue is when I open the data file in ParaView I get 2 different views each with a "Spreadsheet". Is there any way to tell ParaView that those data sets should be displayed as Line Charts instead of the Spreadsheet view? Or is there a reader that does this already? If so I'll look at that code and figure it out.
