[Paraview] Set TextureMaptoPlane texture via Python

[Ryan Danks]

I've been trying to have a texture (PNG file) applied to a multiblock surface via a Python script. My starting point was a trace of the process,which looks like this
t1 = TextureMaptoPlane()
rep = Show()
rep.Texture = []
 
When I load the PNG file with PNGSeriesReader, and make the command rep.Texture=[pngObject] Paraview crashes with the following error
ERROR: In /home/kitware/Dashboards/MyTests/Paraview-master/ParaViewCo
vtkPVSessionCore (0x1ba6360): Object type: vtkGlyph3DRepresentation, 
or the method was called with incorrect arguments.
 
while processing
Message 0 = Invoke
  Argument 0 = vtk_object_pointer {vtkGlyph3DRepresentation (0x21b2be
  Argument 1 = string_value {SetTexture}
  Argument 2 = vtk_object_pointer {vtkFileSeriesReader (0x22ca5f30)}
 
 
 
ERROR: In /home/kitware/Dashboards/MyTests/Paraview-master/ParaViewCo
vtkPVSessionCore (0x1ba6360): Aborting execution for debugging purposes.
 
Now my representation mode was set to surface so I have no idea why it's referencing vtkGlyph3DRepresentation, and the crash occurs with both multi-block and single block datasets, and in both the Linux and Windows versions of 3.12.
 
I'm hoping someone out there knows the solution to this!
