[Paraview] big black dot highlighting current time in PlotSelectionOverTime?

[Samuel Key]

Fred,

I have been able to produce the plots you want with PV.

After you use the select point(s) inside a polygon filter, you have to 
select under the top-line View drop-down menu, the Selection Inspector 
window. At the bottom of this window you can select the color and size 
of the selected point. It is a little tricky to keep the selected point 
high-lighted when doing the side-by-side animation of the mesh and the 
x-vs-y plot. If I recall correctly, the Selection filter needs to be the 
active element in the Pipeline Browser window.
